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.

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.
