Story behind the dish

La Basque burnt cheesecake fue creada en 1990 por la pasteleria La Viña de San Sebastian, revolucionando la reposteria con su superficie caramelizada quemada y centro cremoso sin base. Es fenomeno global que convirtio a Guipuzcoa en peregrinacion gastronomica. Su imperfeccion calculada es sello de autenticidad.
