Far from its American counterpart, Italian cheesecake embodies a distinct character that comes from Italy's rich history and passionate devotion to gastronomy.Unlike the dense and heavy New York cheesecake, the Italian version is light, delicate and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.There are endless variations in Italy, depending on the ingredients used for the filling. Our version of cheesecake is baked and made with mascarpone and ricotta. It's because of the use of these ingredients that we call this dessert "Cheesecake all'Italiana".
