What types of cheese work best?

Mild cheddar and gouda provide a creamy texture and balanced flavors, but Emmental or Monterey Jack are great alternatives.

Can I use different grapes?

Yes, green grapes add a nice color contrast and maintain the sweet juiciness that pairs well with cheese.

Keep them refrigerated if made ahead, but serve chilled or at room temperature for best texture and flavor.

Fresh mint leaves add fragrance and a subtle fresh note; a light drizzle of honey can also enhance the sweet-salty balance.

Use a sharp knife for cutting cheese cubes, wooden skewers or cocktail sticks for threading, and a platter to serve.
