Cheesecake History, Just because...
[and, a picture of me (because all post need a picture, right?!!)...]
While trying to find out how to make my cheesecakes not have cracks, I discovered this...
Ever since the dawn of time, mankind has striven to create the perfect cheesecake. The earliest history of the art is lost, but we know that cheesecake was already a popular dish in ancient Greece. With the Roman conquest of Greece, the secret fell into Roman hands. It is speculated that cheesecake was first introduced to Great Britain and Western Europe by the Roman conquest. All across Europe, it developed in a multitude of forms. In Russia, cheesecakes became an Easter tradition of the Orthodox Church. By the time of the Renaissance, cheesecakes were flourishing.
In 1872, American dairymen achieved a technological breakthrough that ushered in the Modern Age of cheesecake. In attempting to duplicate the popular Neufchatel cheese of France, they hit upon a formula for an unripened cheese that was even richer and creamier (they named it cream cheese). In 1912, James Kraft developed a method to pasteurize cream cheese (Philadelphia cream cheese), and soon other manufacturer's of dairy products offered this newer kind of cream cheese.
