Of the many cheesecake food holidays, this one on July 30 is the most popular and widely recognized.

First observed in 1985, primarily in New York, Cheesecake Day has spread worldwide.

Baked or unbaked, this sweet dessert is usually made from fresh cheese, eggs, and sugar with a crust of crushed cookies, graham crackers, or pastry.
