    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.

    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.

      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.
