Pistachio CHEESECAKE
In a group photo, we are used to saying “cheese!” to smile all together, but to smile even more we could say “cheesecake!”. In the collective imagination, cheesecake is a typical American dessert, modern and fun, but its origins are — surprisingly — to be found elsewhere. Very far away, in space and time: in Ancient Greece of the eighth century BC, during the first Olympics. Since then, no one can precisely say how it spread to every corner of the globe. Its worldwide success could also be attributed to the Esperanto community, as cheesecake has become the symbolic dessert of the movement that seeks to unite people with its universal language, Esperanto.
Today, cheesecake has a strong identity, but a multitude of variants: with fruit, chocolate, delicious spreads, baked in the oven or simply refrigerated. Every country, every family, everyone has their own recipe, a different way of preparing, serving, or enjoying it. Our Pistachio Cheesecake is easy to make (no baking needed) and to garnish (just a handful of pistachio crumbs), but it will capture both the eyes and the palate. A delight for all ages, to be tried even with our Salted Caramel Spread, because we already know that after finishing it, you will be looking forward to eating it again.
