Etymology

The word 'cheesecake' originates from the Latin word 'caseus', which means cheese. The concept of cheesecake dates back to ancient Greece, where it was made with simple ingredients of cheese, honey, and flour, and served to athletes during the first Olympic Games. The Romans later adopted the recipe, adding their own variations. It wasn't until the arrival in America that the cheesecake we know today began to take shape, particularly with the introduction of cream cheese in the late 19th century. The New York cheesecake, known for its dense consistency, became famous in the early 20th century and remains a popular dessert choice. Over time, various regional versions and flavors have emerged, transforming cheesecake into a cherished dessert enjoyed in many forms across cultures.
