The Creamy Start of National Cheesecake Day
The origin of the cheesecake dates back to the middle ages when athletes in Greece consumed them as a source of energy. Later on, the recipe kept on getting most taste oriented while maintaining the protein and energy ratio. In the 15th century, the word ‘cheesecake’ was coined to signify this ancient cheesy layered cake. Different types of cheese were invented as time passed (especially creamy cheese).
People started experimenting with cheesecake because they could not forget the first cheesy bite they took of it in an American restaurant. Around cities, newer flavours were created and enjoyed by everyone. Cheesecakes became an inseparable part of American food. To celebrate this lovely centuries-old relationship with it July 30th was announced as National Cheesecake Day in 1985. Since then it has been celebrated with utmost joy and excitement by every cheesecake lover.
