CRIOLLO Unveils New Basque Cheesecake to Add to Their Renowned Collection

CRIOLLO Introduces the Creamy Basque Cheesecake

CRIOLLO, known for its exquisite desserts, has launched its much-anticipated Creamy Basque Cheesecake on May 24. Established as a leading name in the world of gourmet desserts, CRIOLLO has captured the attention of dessert aficionados with its unique flavor profiles and quality ingredients. The brand's signature item, the phantom cheesecake, has received accolades such as the 2019 Best Dessert Award from the popular food website Otoriyose Net, and recently won a category award in the sweets division of the 10th anniversary LINE Gift Awards.

This new addition—Creamy Basque Cheesecake—takes inspiration from the traditional Basque cheesecake after a visit by its founder, Chef Santos Antoine, to the Basque region in Spain. Traditionally, Basque cheesecakes are known for their richly burnt top, but CRIOLLO has chosen a lighter approach. By not overly charring the top, they aim to preserve the cheesecake's silky texture and enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients, resulting in what they describe as a unique CRIOLLO version of this beloved dessert.

The cheesecake features a sophisticated baked color with subdued char marks, making it appealing across generations. This delicacy is perfect for gifting or sharing on various occasions, thanks to its mild sweetness and light texture. It can be enjoyed during tea time or savored as a delightful finish after dinner. The Creamy Basque Cheesecake allows you to relish the rich taste sensations while maintaining an elegant profile.

With each bite, you'll experience an exquisite melting texture and an array of flavors that come together beautifully. CRIOLLO invites you to indulge in this ultimate balance of creamy goodness and authentic taste.

The delectable cake is priced at ¥2,600 (tax included) and will be available at all CRIOLLO locations and online from May 24, 2025. Prior to this launch, from April 21 to 26, a commemorative giveaway campaign will take place on CRIOLLO's official X and Instagram pages, allowing fans a chance to win this exclusive treat.

Chef Santos Antoine, a French Patissier, brings his uniquely French sense of aesthetics fused with a delicate Japanese sensibility to CRIOLLO's creations. As part of their mission, they strive to continuously innovate and evolve, fulfilling their commitment to providing delicious products that bring happiness to their customers. CRIOLLO operates three locations: the main store in Kodaira-kuboshi, Nakameguro, and Azabudai Hills, along with an online shop.
