Hi!

My name is Lucia. I want to personally welcome and thank you for arriving on this page. You will now know a bit more about La Maritxu.

It all started before Christmas 2021. We are a Basque family of three sisters: Maria, that lives in Quito, Almudena, that lives in Pamplona, and myself, Lucia, living in London. It had been a long time since we had the idea of bringing our Basque culture to our new living places. And one of the best things about the Basque culture is its gastronomy.

Maria was the first one in the adventure, hence the name: La Maritxu. Ending the names with -txu (pronounced ‘2’ like the number) is a close and familiar way of calling people in the Basque country. Using the family recipe of the basque cheesecake, very similar to the one from La Viña in San Sebastian, with a family touch and a special ingredient: love. Many deli places and restaurants in Quito already enjoy La Maritxu basque cheesecake.

After a few months, I decided to continue the adventure in London. I am an architect during the day and a baker in the evenings and weekends. Using the best quality ingredients and the most important one: love; every week, basque cheesecakes are made for happy Londoners. At the moment it is the original Basque Cheesecake the one and only product, but there are plans in the future for discovering different flavors like white chocolate or salted caramel…stay tuned.
