Some classics earn their place with time. But since its creation in 2018, the burned cheesecake from Llisa Negra has become one of the most talked-about and celebrated desserts in València. Praised by critics, guests, and national media for its silky texture and unmistakable flavor, it’s often described as one of the best cheesecakes in Spain.
Now, this icon of València steps beyond the restaurant doors to reach your home. Introducing the new Llisa Negra cheesecakes to take away – available in individual size (serves 4–6) and four versions that reinterpret the original: Classic, Pistachio, Lotus, and Cherry.
Because when you’ve perfected the classic… how could you not dare to go further?
The New Flavors of Llisa Negra’s Burned Cheesecake
Those who’ve tried Llisa Negra’s cheesecake know it: its fame is no coincidence. With its melting center, perfectly baked edges, and flawless balance of sweetness and depth, it’s earned a place among the best cheesecakes in Spain. So it was only a matter of time before a take-home version appeared, and it’s finally here.
Four flavors designed to be enjoyed at home, gift to someone special, or bring to a memorable meal. Each is crafted in-house at Llisa Negra, available for pickup in València, and prepared with the same care and precision as always:
- Pistachio Cheesecake: rich, creamy, and elegant.
- Lotus Cheesecake: sweet and indulgent, with the caramelized notes of the iconic biscuit.
- Cherry Cheesecake: fresh and balanced, with a subtle tartness that lifts every bite. This flavor will always be part of our rotating selection, adapting to the ingredients and tastes of each season.
- The Classic: the original Llisa Negra burned cheesecake, creamy, golden, and unforgettable, now in the perfect size to take home.
The Quique Dacosta Cheesecake
The Llisa Negra cheesecake was born in 2018, alongside the restaurant’s opening, part of the Quique Dacosta Group. And without a doubt, it has become one of its defining dishes – as essential as the restaurant’s famous wood-fired paellas and socarrat.
Recognized for its unique texture – creamy at the center, delicately caramelized on the surface – and its pure, intense cheese flavor, it has become a modern icon. No crust, no frills – it doesn’t need them. Its secret lies in the technique and the product, in that philosophy that defines Dacosta’s cuisine: respect for ingredients, precision, and a relentless pursuit of flavor in its purest form.
That apparent simplicity is what has made it one of the most admired burned cheesecakes in Spain. In the words of El País, it is nothing short of “memorable.”
The Best Cheesecake in Valencia
Calling it “the best cheesecake in Valencia” isn’t marketing – it’s a statement echoed time and again by critics and national media. Since 2018, Llisa Negra’s burned cheesecake has captured headlines, hearts, and countless lists of the best cheesecakes in Spain.
Las Provincias’ Jesús Trelis described it as “sublime,” “celestial,” and “the jewel that crowns Llisa Negra” only weeks after the restaurant’s opening. That same year, El País critic José Carlos Capel called it “memorable.”
From that moment, the amount of media talking about our burned cheesecake skyrocketed:
- La Vanguardia (2019) named it among the country’s best for its creaminess and sheep’s milk cheese flavor.
- Condé Nast Traveler (2019) called it “the most ordered dessert – and reason enough to visit València.”
- Harper’s Bazaar (2019) highlighted it as “an emblem of the menu.”
- By 2021, ABC, Mujerhoy, Tapas Magazine, and Las Provincias all agreed: “melting,” “crave-worthy,” “perfect texture, unmistakable taste.”
- Gastroactitud listed it among their “Top 10 Cheesecakes in Spain.”
And the accolades kept coming:
- Hule & Mantel (2022) called it “one of Quique Dacosta’s flagship creations.”
- Economía Digital (2023) quoted diners describing it as “the best I’ve ever had.”
- El Español (2024) called it “a golden masterpiece that elevates the cheesecake to new heights.”
- And Elle Gourmet (2025) named it “one of the 30 most irresistible cheesecakes in Spain.”
- Habanero Magazine (2025) consider it unquestionable, stratospheric and superlative.
Beyond the awards, one truth remains constant: Llisa Negra’s burned cheesecake is a dessert that stirs emotion – a symbol of simplicity, technique, and respect for the ingredient, with sheep’s milk cheese at its core and that lightly toasted top that’s become its signature.
As La Vanguardia put it: “A creamy, flavorful creation that the oven lifts to new heights.”
Because when we call it “the best cheesecake in Valencia,” we’re simply repeating what everyone else has already said.
