- "One of the more unusual characteristics cheesecake is the ripening process; it should be made at least 24 hours in advance. The dramatic difference between cured and uncured cake is hard to believe. It seems to increase in quality for at least 2 days, getting creamier while maturing." From my experience eating this, it's a lot like Costco cheesecake, rich and light at the same time, and not gummy like cheap cheesecakes.
