Frequently Asked Questions

→ What cheeses work best for the skewers?

Mild cheddar and gouda offer a creamy texture and balanced flavor, but Emmental or Monterey Jack also work well for variation.

→ Can I use different types of grapes?

Yes, seedless red or green grapes can be used to provide color contrast and sweetness without seeds for easy eating.

→ Is any preparation needed for the grapes before assembling?

Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes to ensure they stay fresh and don’t make the skewers soggy.

→ How long can skewers be made ahead?

They can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated, but are best served fresh for optimal texture and flavor.

→ Are there any recommended garnishes?

Fresh mint leaves can be added for a refreshing aroma and garnish; a light drizzle of honey adds a sweet-salty contrast.
