Pentecost has long since become the holiday of cheeses, we are not renewing you in that.
However, unlike a variety of categories in the "dairy" industry, it seems that every year in the cheesecakes of the confectioneries, quite a few of them insist on not over-diversifying, and staying with the same classic taste.
This, except for minor changes or non-challenging additions, certainly if we compare it to the accompanying burst of creativity, for example, to Haman's ears or donuts.
To see if the situation remained the same this year, we convened a small panel of experts - Or Ben Oliel, Neta Salonim and I - and tasted more than 20 cheesecakes from the best confectioneries around the country.
pleasant viewing!
