# BBQ Cheese Skewers This 'Grill-Cheese' Will Become Tender, but Won't Melt on the Barbecue By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-02-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-skewers References: [neuheiten.koelnmesse.net](http://neuheiten.koelnmesse.net/250/2015/us/products/view/product_id:23126/cat:26418) & [frischkaese.ch](http://www.frischkaese.ch/barbecue-cheese.html) When placed on a hot barbecue, most cheeses are quick to turn into a delicious, albeit melted mess—but these barbecue cheese skewers provide a solution to this common problem. The 'Grill-Cheese' skewer from Züger Frischkäse is described as having a "special consistency means that it does not melt," but will become tender and soft when cooked on [a flaming charcoal grill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castello-cheese). For variety, Züger's barbecue cheese products come in a range of different types, including barbecue, provençal, antipasti and curry flavors. As it stands, cheese is most often added to a grill simply as a topping or an accompaniment to other food items. This inventive product completely reinvents cheese as an item that can stand alone on a backyard barbecue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Non-melting Cheese:** The trend of developing non-melting cheese opens up opportunities for creating new barbecue dishes with unique textures and flavors. - **Grilling Innovation:** The innovation of creating cheese skewers that stay intact on the barbecue presents opportunities for developing new grilling techniques and recipes. - **Cheese-centric Barbecues:** The trend of cheese becoming a main attraction at barbecues suggests potential for creating specialized cheese-themed barbecue events or menus. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore the development and marketing of non-melting cheese products specifically designed for barbecues. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can incorporate the use of non-melting cheese skewers in their barbecue menus to offer unique and innovative dining experiences. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can tap into the trend of cheese-centric barbecues by organizing cheese-themed barbecue events or incorporating cheese-focused elements into existing events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Meltable Cheese Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilling-cheese-1.md) - [Sausage-Shaped Grillable Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesedog.md) - [Grillable Cheese Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-bangers.md) - [Spicy Halloumi Kebabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chilli-halloumi-kebabs.md) - [Soft-Ripened Grilling Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brie-for-grilling.md) - [Grill-Friendly Cheese Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cypressa-grilling-cheese.md) - [Ready-to-Cook Marinated Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rougette-bonfire-marinated-cheese.md) - [BBQ-Style Charcuterie Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbqterie-kit.md) - [Grillable Bread Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oululainen-reissumies-grilling-bread.md)
