The base is made as usual that we make cheesecakes, with unnoticed, but this time we change the digestives for Oatmeal Cookies. They are very easy to find and we can buy them in every supermarket. Cookies are not as sweet as the digestives, but still give it a touch of contrast to the very rich flavor. In addition we mix with grated Parmesan which gives an unique touch to this salty base.

To my love to cover it with candied figs: a few fresh Figs that open in half and paint with a glaze of Modena, red wine and brown sugar vinegar-based. but still there is time, I used some fresh and rich red grapes that accompany the flavor of the gorgonzola cheese very well.
