Today is World Cheesecake Day, and if you’re looking for one of Tenerife’s best places to celebrate, Varguita Cheesecake is well worth a visit.
The island-based business has built a loyal following by specialising in handcrafted cheesecakes made exclusively with Canarian cheeses, earning a reputation as one of Tenerife’s standout dessert makers.
An Award-Winning Recipe
Varguita Cheesecake’s biggest achievement came in 2024, when it won first prize in the professional category at the First Canary Islands Cheesecake Competition, held in Pinolere.
The winning recipe, made using locally produced Canarian cheeses, helped put the business firmly on the map.
Made with Local Ingredients
Every cheesecake is handmade using cheeses sourced from the Canary Islands, with the focus firmly on supporting local producers.
The result is a rich, creamy texture that has become the brand’s trademark, making its cheesecakes a popular choice for birthdays, celebrations and special occasions.
