Pino have just released a new ice cream in a rare cheese flavour. I am not sure if it is rare cheese because there aren’t many around or because it contains mascarpone. Can anyone help me. In Australia I never heard of rare cheesecakes or rare cheese. I only ever new of cheese by its various names. Is mascarpone known as rare cheese in any other country?

2 opinions for Pino Rare cheese

No, I think ‘rare cheesecake’ is actually a Japanese term… I’ve never heard it used anywhere else. It refers to cheesecake that’s had some kind of fruit ingredient, like fresh strawberries or raspberry compote, added. I have no idea where the name comes from, but it’s probably just to make it sound more cultured or luxurious or something.

I just looked it up, and it seems the ‘rare’ in ‘rare cheesecake’ comes from the fact that no baking is required. I guess I was just mistaken on what the term applies to… though I’ve never seen a ‘rare cheesecake’ without some kind of fruit.
