Filled to the rim

No air under the lid. No gap at the edge. The cream goes all the way up, and the lid closes on it.

01 — Lift

We pour it
into the box.

Not into a tin, then a box. The cream sets in the round box it leaves in, so it fills it, all the way to the edge.

08 — Where it comes from · Kökler

Chester, New York

  1. 1872 · Krem peynir

    The cream cheese.

    A dairyman named William Lawrence starts making a rich, fresh cream cheese in upstate New York. It later becomes Philadelphia, the one we still use.

  2. 1990 · Bask usulü

    The creamy cheesecake.

    Around 1990, chef Santiago Rivera at La Viña in San Sebastián bakes his cheesecake hot and short. Dark on the outside, almost liquid in the middle. The world copies it.

  3. 2000 · Antep fıstığı

    The pistachio.

    Antep pistachio becomes one of Türkiye's first protected geographical indications. Today its name is protected in the EU too. Only nuts from Gaziantep may carry it.

  4. Şimdi · CANÉ

    The box.

    All three come together in Istanbul. Philadelphia cream, a creamy bake, Antep pistachio, in an orange box filled to the rim.

09 — How it is made · Nasıl yapılır

  1. 01 · Taban

    Press

    Biscuit crumbs and butter, pressed flat into the base.

  2. 02 · Döküm

    Pour

    The cream cheese mix goes in, all the way up.

  3. 03 · Pişirme

    Bake

    Low and slow, so it stays smooth and does not crack.

  4. 04 · Dinlenme

    Rest

    Overnight in the cold. That is when it sets.

  5. 05 · Süsleme

    Top & close

    Topping by hand, then the orange lid.
