About this ebook

What makes cheesecakes adaptable to any culinary style is their cheese. Back in Ancient Greece, every market sold cheeses to those who cannot make their own. By the time the fourth century B.C. came, the most accepted white Greek cheeses were being seasoned with spices and baked into a manner similar to pies and cakes. Even the Romans, during the height of their
power, used a great deal of cheese in their cooking. They preserved cheese using a salt-based sauce and provided the recipe for the celebration of the wedding cake, which still contain cheese as the main ingredient.

    All About the Cheese in the Cheesecake

    What makes cheesecakes adaptable to any culinary style

    is their cheese. Back in Ancient Greece, every market

    sold cheeses to those who cannot make their own. By

    the time the fourth century B.C. came, the most

    accepted white Greek cheeses were being seasoned with

    spices and baked into a manner similar to pies and

    cakes. Even the Romans, during the height of their

    power, used a great deal of cheese in their cooking.

    They preserved cheese using a salt-based sauce and

    provided the recipe for the celebration of the wedding

    cake, which still contain cheese as the main

    ingredient.

    The Americans and Their Cream Cheese

    A soft, mild-tasting, sweet, white cheese is the cream

    cheese. Generally, cream cheese contains at least 33

    percent milk fat and a moisture content of not more

    than 55 percent and a pH level ranging from 4.4 to

    4.9. Cream cheese is not usually matured and is meant

    to be consumed fresh. This makes it diverse from other

    supple cheeses, like the Neufchatel and the Europe’s

    Brie. The taste, production and texture of the cream

    cheese are more comparable to that of the Mascarpone

    and Boursin.

    Cream cheese was known to originate in the United

    States during the year 1872. In Chester, New York, a

    dairyman developed a richer cheese made from whole

    milk and cream. During the year 1880, A.L. Reynolds,

    one of the cheese distributors in New York, first

    began issuing cream cheese, which was then covered in

    tin-foil wrappers, called the Philadelphia Brand.

    Hence, the name Philadelphia Brand cream cheese was

    adopted by the Reynolds for the product since, at that

    time, the quality of food products were related with

    the city where it originated.

    It was not until 1912, when James L. Kraft created the

    pasteurized cheese. This invention eventually led to

    the improvement of the pasteurized Philadelphia Brand

    cream cheese, which is not the most fashionable cheese

    used in making cheesecakes.

    The French and Their Neufchatel

    While the Americans like to use cream cheeses for

    their cheesecakes, the French used Neufchatel cheese

    in their own culinary style of creating cheesecakes.

    Neufchatel is a flavorful cheese that provides

    cheesecakes with a light and airy texture and

    eventually became the basis of the modern American

    cheesecake.

    The French Neufchatel is slightly crumbly, soft and

    mould-ripened made in the region of Normandy. It was

    one of the oldest cheeses in France with production

    dating back as far as the 6th century. Neufchatel

    cheese is somewhat similar to
