Fiadone is a cheesecake from which Mediterranean island?

Fiadone is a cheesecake from the Mediterranean island of Corsica.

This traditional Corsican dessert is typically made with brocciu, a fresh whey cheese associated with the island, plus eggs, sugar, and lemon or citron zest. It is baked, cooled, and served cold. Unlike many familiar cheesecakes, fiadone generally has no bottom crust, giving it a simple, dense, custard-like appearance.

Fiadone may be round or rectangular. Its defining flavor comes from the combination of fresh cheese and citrus rather than from a cookie base or heavy topping. Corsican cuisine uses brocciu in both savory dishes and sweets, making the cheese a useful clue when identifying the dessert's origin.

A related pastry called imbrucciate is sometimes confused with fiadone. Imbrucciate are small fiadoni with puff pastry on the bottom, whereas the classic fiadone is crustless. Similar forms of the dessert are also prepared in parts of southern Italy, but the canonical island association for fiadone is Corsica, not Crete, Sardinia, or Sicily.
