Golden (figuratively) Belgium grapes!

Just a couple of lines on the grapes we bought yesterday at the market near home in Turnhout ... or better I pushed Elke to buy. It is the Presidential by Jan Charlier and grown in Belgium. We did not know much about them apart that everybody seemed to buy them and that the price is a whopping 24 euro per kilo !!!! Basically, a cluster was more than the entire shopping at the market. Almost like gold!
Anyway, it is indeed very nice. Thin skin and big in size. Very few seeds (important for me as I have seeds). Texture is firm and juicy. Quite tasty and not too sweet. Basically an excellent grape ... still amazingly expensive!!! I guess the price is because not much grape is produced in Belgium. Well, sure we do not want to spoil even a bit (it is almost 1 euro per grape!)
