A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Basque cheesecake comes with apricot jam. Taste the cheese base and fruit accompaniment separately, then together. This lets you choose your own ratio of cheesecake to jam in each bite. Ask the restaurant team about the portion weight.
Flavour and serving
Add jam gradually, beginning with a small accent and then trying a more fruit-led combination. One portion can offer several different tasting balances.
The cheesecake differs from the chocolate desserts through its pairing of cheese and apricot jam. That is a clear guide if you want a fruit accompaniment at the end of dinner. Keep the jam as a separate accent and vary it on your fork. For a shared tasting, compare cheesecake and chocolate tart, each with its own base and sweet accompaniment.
What to try alongside
Order espresso or loose-leaf tea separately alongside the dessert. Choose your drink according to how you like to alternate sips and bites.
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, tell your waiter before ordering. Ask the restaurant team about the full ingredients and possible substitutions.
