Cheesecake is one of the most recognizable and popular desserts. You may assume its origin traces back to France or even Italy as the fluffy, creamy cheesecake has become a staple of traditional bakeries.
But cheesecake has a very different origin: ancient Greece. The original cheesecake is thought by researchers to have been created on the Greek island of Samos, where anthropologists unearthed cheese molds for the dessert that dated back to 2.000 BC.
There is evidence that people served cheesecake during the First Olympic Games in 776 BC as it was believed that the treat was a viable source of fuel. Cheesecake was also served as a wedding cake.
