Present on the menu of almost all restaurants in Madrid, it has been the fashionable dessert for a few years, if it even has an
International Day
(today, July 30).
With a liquid or consistent interior;
with soft or strong cheeses, even a mixture of them;
with jams and ice cream ... There
is something
for all tastes and styles,
classic, modern
and even
Asian
... But, in any case, how difficult it is to resist a good cheesecake, like the dozen that we show you here.
Cañada.
CANADIO
This restaurant and its brothers (La Maruca Velázquez and Castellana, La Bien Aparecida and La Primera) sign one of the
most acclaimed
cakes
in
the capital and a
great specialty
of the Cañadío Group dining rooms.
The recipe was born in Cañadío Santander, the first place that
Pacos Quiró
opened
and which is now 40 years old
.
The secret of this iconic dessert that is
made daily
is, among other things, in the fresh cheese that is used and in the
control of the temperature
and the baking time.
If you want to try it, remember to order it before the service, because it flies.

Fismuler.
FISMULER
Nino Redruello is the author of one of the most delicate and valued recipes in Madrid.
It all started in Fismuler (Familia La Ancha), an establishment in the Chamberí neighborhood of which he is the owner and chef.
After a long time of trial and error, they came up with the cake of their dreams.
The key to its success is to be found in the balanced
combination of three cheeses
, one fresh, one smoked idiazábal and the other blue, and the creamy, almost liquid aspect of the dessert.
The boom has been such that since last summer it has been sold -to order- in
Pastelerías Mallorca
.

The Madrid chiringuito of the restless Andalusian chef Dani García falls into the temptation of cheese.
The one currently served in this house - which shows the most popular dishes of traditional Andalusian cuisine that marked the
childhood of the Marbella chef
