Basque country is a European region that is 1/6 in France and 5/6 in Spain, crossing the Pyrenees and facing the Atlantic. It has a unique culture, language and ethnicity. So it's a highly specific origin that is surprising to find mentioned so far away from Europe.
As for this cake, it did feel like good quality. But it also confirmed that I prefer the firm kind of cheesecakes.
To be fair, Basque people expanded well outside Basque country and took root in a few odd spots as a result. I live in Nevada, and we have Basque festivals in a few cities with many actual Basque people here annually. I wouldn't say I'm an expert by any measure, but maybe some took root near Tokyo too? Wouldn't be the craziest thing.
EDIT: There's apparently a wiki page specifically about this, though it makes no mention of Japan that I saw.
I had no idea the Basque diaspora was this important, this region is not that big.
J'ai remarqué que les chinois mangent beaucoup de ce gâteau. Je n'en n'avais pas entendu parlé en France (^_^') Il faut dire que j'habite assez loin du pays basque... Quoique pas tant que ça comparé aux chinois.
Tu en as vu en Chine?
Après plus d'investigation, je pense que c'est spécifique Pays Basque espagnol. Je pense même que ce style a commencé ailleurs en Espagne mais qu'un pâtissier Basque espagnol l'a popularisé à l'international.
En Chine, non mais j'ai vu des contenus à destination de l'audience chinoise remplis de ce genre de gâteau sur Kuaishou. Je me demandais si c'était vraiment basque, ou une création chinoise d'inspiration basque (^_^')
is basque style usually firm, and the restaurant changed it to the Japanese style fluffy cheesecake?
I mean I ain't gonna turn it down either way.
Apparently this is one of the most famous makers in the Spanish Basque Country, and it looks creamy. https://lavinarestaurante.com/especialidades/
In Spain, in general, the "tarta de queso" (literaly cheese tarte) I have seen in cafés tend to be quite liquid too. I think it's a Spanish taste.
very cool. I didn't know cheesecake was so unique among different countries.
although I guess if you're going to experiment and make any dessert your own, cheesecake is a good one to eat the mistaken experiments of.
thanks.
J'ai jamais goûté. Ça à l'air trop bon !
My wife is Basque (French side). Every time I go there I witness endless discussions about "who make the best gateau Basque (biskotx)". It's really an obsession. But the biskotx is made with shortbread and I've never heard of the Basque cheesecake.
I'll ask about it the next time I'm there, but I'm pretty sure this will start a fight.
I know and love gâteau basque, but this is really different. I think it may be specific to the Spanish part, I think cheesecake is more common in Spain than France.
