San Sebastian Cheesecake (Basque)



San Sebastian cheesecake, also known as Basque burnt cheesecake or La Viña cheesecake, is a type of cheesecake that has its origins in San Sebastian, Spain. Also known in Basque as simply tarta de queso or gazta tarta. The main features of this cake are the burnt or caramel-like layer formed on it and the soft, slightly moist and creamy consistency on the inside.

San Sebastian cheesecake is a simple pie made with plain ingredients. The basic ingredients usually consist of a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, eggs and flour. After these ingredients are thoroughly mixed, they are baked in the oven and caramelized until the upper surface turns a dark brown color. The consistency of this cake is less dense and softer than other types of cheesecake. Unlike its more popular counterparts, this Basque version has no dough. Instead, the middle remains sticky while the outside is cooked at a high temperature leaving it hard, darker, and slightly burnt.

San Sebastian cheesecake or Basque burnt cheesecake originated in the city of San Sebastian in the Basque Country of Spain. The history of this particular cheesecake can be traced back to the 1990s. A famous bar and restaurant called La Viña is the main factor behind the popularity of this cake. La Viña is located in Parte Vieja, in San Sebastian's old town.

Santiago Rivera, owner of La Viña, contributed to the spread of Basque burnt cheesecake by presenting this cheesecake at his place. Rivera's original recipe and presentation has been adopted by other bakeries and restaurants, gaining worldwide fame.

San Sebastian cheesecake has taken its place in many local and international cuisines in Spain and around the world, gaining new interpretations with traditional and modern recipes.
