Salvo

Au Danemark, le petit-déjeuner dominical douillet est représenté par une friandise croustillante appelée pâtisserie danoise. Elle est faite de pâte feuilletée, recouverte de beurre à plusieurs reprises et repliée sur elle-même. Le résultat est une création assez similaire à la pâte feuilletée. La pâte est façonnée en différentes formes et remplie de garnitures savoureuses et crémeuses. Les garnitures traditionnelles aux fruits comme la pomme et la framboise, la crème anglaise à la vanille et la pâte d'amande sont les préférées des Danois, mais en raison de leur popularité, les garnitures sont généralement spécifiques à la région. Par exemple, la cannelle est plus appréciée pendant la saison hivernale, tandis que des fruits frais facilement disponibles sont parfois incorporés dans la pâtisserie danoise pendant les mois les plus chauds. La pâtisserie est souvent décorée de flocons d'amandes ou d'un filet de citron, qui contribuent à un aspect plus sophistiqué et offrent des saveurs et des textures plus intéressantes. On pense que la pâtisserie danoise a été créée par des boulangers autrichiens qui ont été embauchés au Danemark pendant la grève des boulangers en 1850, et qui ont apporté une tradition de préparation de pâte feuilletée au pays. Ils ont modifié la recette en ajoutant plus de beurre pour créer ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui la pâtisserie danoise. Cependant, au Danemark, en Suède et en Norvège, on l'appelle wienerbröd, d'après le nom de pain viennois, et à Vienne, on l'appelle souvent Kopenhagener plunder. Aujourd'hui, cette pâtisserie est un produit de boulangerie reconnu internationalement que l'on retrouve dans de nombreux pays européens et en Amérique du Nord et du Sud. Avec ses motifs complexes et sa variété de saveurs, elle représente une pâtisserie de base de chaque boulangerie et un petit-déjeuner sucré préféré de nombreuses personnes.

Pistachio Tiramisu

Italy

Even though tiramis&ugrave; is actually a fairly recent invention, this dessert of coffee-soaked ladyfingers layered with mascarpone cream enjoys an iconic status among Italian desserts. Its name stems from the phrase tirami s&ugrave;, an Italian expression which literally means pick me up, a reference to the uplifting effects of sugar, liquor, and coffee. The origins of tiramis&ugrave; are heavily disputed between Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions, but it is often suggested that the first was made in Veneto in the early 1960s. The earliest documented recipe for tiramis&ugrave; (interestingly, without alcohol!) was printed in the 1981 spring edition of Vin Veneto magazine in an article on coffee-based desserts by Giuseppe Maffioli, a renowned food critic and member of the Italian Academy of Cuisine. However, in August 2017, Friuli-Venezia Giulia's tiramisu was officially added to the list of traditional regional dishes, but a Veneto local won the Tiramisu World Cup in November 2017, so the playing field is somewhat levelled once again. Regardless of these disputes, the perfect tiramis&ugrave; should always deliver a serious caffeine kick from a shot of strong espresso, while brandy-fortified Marsala wine adds a nice sweet buzz. In 2021, Ado Campeol, the owner of the restaurant where tiramis&ugrave; is widely thought to have been invented, has died.

Tiramisù

Ces viennoiseries feuilletées, dorées et en forme de croissant sont préparées de préférence avec du beurre pur et une pâte levée légèrement sucrée. Si elles sont bien faites, l'intérieur jaune-blanc devrait être légèrement élastique lorsqu'on le retire du centre, prêt à être recouvert d'une noisette de beurre ou de confiture fraîche. Les experts s'accordent à dire que le croissant a été fortement influencé par les kipfels autrichiens. Cette pâtisserie est née en 1683 pour célébrer la victoire autrichienne sur l'Empire ottoman, sa forme imitant soi-disant le croissant de lune que l'on trouve sur le drapeau turc. Cependant, le croissant est devenu français lorsque les gens ont commencé à le préparer avec de la pâte feuilletée, une innovation française. Aujourd'hui, les croissants français sont fourrés au chocolat, à la confiture, aux raisins secs ou même au fromage à la crème. Vendus frais dans de nombreuses boulangeries françaises, ils sont principalement consommés au petit-déjeuner.

Connue simplement sous le nom de tarta de queso ou gazta tarta dans sa langue natale, cette variante de cheesecake simple mais incroyablement crémeuse est une spécialité locale vieille de plusieurs décennies du bar La Viña à Saint-Sébastien. La recette est une simple combinaison d'ingrédients classiques du cheesecake tels que du sucre, de la crème épaisse, des œufs et du fromage à la crème, mais contrairement à ses homologues plus populaires, cette version basque n'a pas de croûte. Au lieu de cela, elle est cuite à haute température, ce qui laisse l'extérieur ferme, plus foncé et quelque peu brûlé, tandis que le centre reste gluant. Le cheesecake basque est extrêmement populaire, et bien que La Viña reste son lieu d'origine, différentes variantes se retrouvent aujourd'hui dans plusieurs pâtisseries du monde entier.

Gâteau au fromage basque

Pistachio version of thr tiramisu at Salvo. Nothing suprising, too much cream, lacking the real pistachio flavour. The toppings were nice. Still missing sugar and coffee taste inside.

Back to salvo to see if anything improved. I tried this couple of times here and usually i like it. But today the taste was off.

Too much cream, no sugar, not a real coffee taste. Really mid level tiramisu. Unfortunately…

Known simply as tarta de queso or gazta tarta in its native Basque, this simple yet incredibly creamy cheesecake variation is a decades-old local specialty of the La Vi&ntilde;a Bar in San Sebasti&aacute;n. The recipe is a simple combination of classic cheesecake ingredients such as sugar, heavy cream, eggs, and cream cheese, but unlike its more popular counterparts, this Basque version does not have any crust. Instead, it is baked on a high temperature which leaves the outside firm, darker, and somewhat burnt, while the center remains gooey. Basque cheesecake is immensely popular, and while La Vi&ntilde;a remains its place of origin, different variations are nowadays found in several patisseries around the world.

Basque Cheesecake

Afternoons at Salvo is a mistake.

This dessert didn’t work for me. The salty caramel on top made it even more savory than it already was, and for a cheesecake, it lacked the balance you’d expect from a dessert. The overall taste leaned too much into the sour side. I’m not a cheesecake fan in general, but even putting that aside, I couldn’t finish this one. Wouldn’t recommend.

These flaky, golden-colored, crescent-shaped pastries are best made with pure butter and a slightly sweet yeast dough. If made properly, the yellow-white interior should be just the slightest bit elastic when pulled from the center, ready to be covered with a pad of butter or some fresh jam. Experts agree that the croissant was heavily influenced by Austrian kipfels. This pastry originated in 1683 as a celebration of the Austrian victory over the Ottoman Empire, its shape supposedly mimicking the crescent moon found on the Turkish flag. However, the croissant became French the moment people began to make it with puff pastry, a French innovation. Today, French croissants come filled with chocolate, jam, raisins, or even cream cheese. Sold fresh at numerous French boulangeries, they are mainly consumed as a breakfast item.

Not this time! I went there around 3pm, pistachio croissant was not fresh it was not crunchy at all, the coffee was also not good. 

The epitome of a cozy Sunday breakfast in Denmark is a crispy sweet treat known as Danish pastry. It is made with laminated dough, where the dough is repeatedly covered with butter and folded over itself. The result is a creation that is quite similar to puff pastry. The dough is shaped into different forms and filled with flavorful, creamy fillings. Traditional fruit fillings such as apple and raspberry, vanilla custard, and almond paste are Danish favorites, but due to its popularity, the fillings are usually region-specific. For example, cinnamon is more favored during the winter season, while readily available fresh fruit is occasionally incorporated into Danish pastry during the warmer months. The pastry is often decorated with almond flakes or lemon drizzle, which contribute to a more sophisticated look and provide more interesting flavors and textures. It is believed that Danish pastry was created by Austrian bakers who were hired in Denmark during the bakers' strike in 1850, and they brought a tradition of preparing laminated dough to the country. They modified the recipe by adding more butter to create what is today known as Danish pastry. However, in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway it is referred to as wienerbr&oslash;d, originating from the name Viennese bread, and in Vienna, it is often called Kopenhagener plunder. Today, this pastry is an internationally recognized baked product that is found in many European countries and both North and South America. With intricate designs and a variety of flavors, it represents a staple pastry of every bakery and a favorite sweet breakfast of many people.

Wienerbrød

Danish Pistachio Cream Cheese

I visited Salvo this afternoon with the intention of enjoying their classic pastries, but was intrigued by a new special: the Danish Pistachio Cream Cheese.

At first glance, it looked indulgent and inviting. However, the execution fell short. The dough was overly abundant, and the layers clumped together instead of rising into that delicate, flaky texture expected from a well-crafted Danish.

The pistachio filling featured their signature flavor, which remains rich, smooth, and beautifully nutty. It’s clearly a strength of Salvo’s pastry line. Unfortunately, the overall balance was disrupted. The cream cheese custard lacked finesse and felt misplaced. I ended up splitting the pastry in half and flipping it upside down in an attempt to better distribute the flavors. An unconventional move, but it helped bring some coherence.

This pastry has potential. With better lamination and a more thoughtful integration of the filling, it could be truly memorable.
