Story behind the dish

La Basque Cheesecake o tarta de queso vasca del restaurante La Viña de San Sebastián se ha convertido en un postre muy reconocible. A diferencia de otros cheesecakes, se hornea a temperatura muy alta para obtener ese exterior casi quemado y un interior completamente cremoso y tembloroso.
