Grape, Parmesan, and Acacia Honey Skewers

Ingredients (for 12 skewers)

• 24 white or rosé grape berries, washed and dried
• 12 not-too-thin flakes of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO (aged 24-30 months)
• 2 teaspoons of acacia honey Lina Sapori e Delizie
• a few fresh rosemary or thyme leaves (optional)
• 12 small wooden skewers

Preparation

1. Cut the Parmigiano into regular, not-too-thin flakes.
2. On each skewer, thread a grape berry, a flake of Parmigiano, and another grape berry.
3. Arrange the skewers on a serving platter or a wooden board.
4. Just before serving, drizzle a little acacia honey Lina Sapori e Delizie, allowing it to drip gently.
5. Garnish with a small thyme or rosemary leaf for an aromatic and decorative touch.

Why it works

• Sweet-salty contrast: the freshness of the grapes meets the intense savoriness of Parmigiano and the silky sweetness of acacia honey.
• Simplicity and refinement: three ingredients that tell the story of nature, tradition, and the elegance of the Italian table.
• Aromatic balance: acacia honey, with its floral and delicate taste, enhances the creaminess of the cheese without overpowering its aroma.

Texture

• Grapes offer a crunchy and juicy note.
• Parmigiano provides a crumbly and velvety texture.
• Honey binds everything with a sweet and fluid caress.

Tips and pairings

• Excellent as finger food for aperitifs or appetizers with a glass of Pignoletto Vivace Vallona or a glass of Riesling Italico Ca’ Beltrami.
• You can prepare them in advance and store them in the fridge, covered, for 4–5 hours.
• Serve them on a wooden cutting board or on small black tasting plates to highlight the color of the grapes and the luster of the honey.
• Gourmet variation: add a drop of balsamic vinegar pearls with truffle Lina Sapori e Delizie for a surprising final touch.

Enjoy your meal!
