The History of Cheesecake:
The origin of cheesecake has been traced to the Greeks. Since cheesecake back then (made from flour, wheat, honey and cheese) was thought to be a good source of energy, it was served to athletes at the first Olympic games in 776 B.C. Greek brides and grooms were known to use cheesecake as wedding cake. The oldest known Greek recipe for cheesecake is from 230 A.D.
Different varieties of cheesecake evolved over the years. in the 18th century, Europeans added eggs to cheesecake- turning it into more of the sweet dessert we know today.
In 1872, a New York dairy farmer tried to replicate French neufchâtel cheese and accidentally invented cream cheese. People began using this as the cheese for making cheesecakes. By the 1900’s, cheesecake appeared on just about every dessert menu in New York.
In 1928, Kraft corporation began producing Philadelphia Cream Cheese. It has been a big contributor as the main ingredient for cheesecakes ever since.
