Chicago-based Eli's Cheesecake Co. launched Honey Mediterranean Cheesecake for foodservice.

It consists of a wildflower honey cheesecake enhanced with the subtle addition of ricotta, then topped with a crunchy layer of salted honey, toasted pistachios, almonds, a cloud of vanilla mousse and a mosaic of more toasted pistachios and almonds. Eli's honey is harvested by students from The Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. Proceeds from honey sales go toward college scholarships for deserving seniors.
