Method of preparation

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • cow's cheese - 400 g
  • basil - fresh
  • thyme - fresh
  • oregano - fresh
  • red pepper - 1/4 tsp. hot flakes
  • olives
  • olive oil
Method · 10 min
  1. For the marinated cheese, you should choose a good hard cheese. The cheese can be any, but in this case I chose a good hard cow's cheese.
  2. Cut into equal sized cubes.
  3. I chose fresh spices because I think they have a stronger aroma and also convey freshness. Spices are washed and chopped.
  4. Place the cheese cubes in glass jars, alternating with olives and fresh spices.
  5. Finally, sprinkle with chili flakes. The amount is according to preference. Finally, pour quality olive oil into the jars.
  6. The closed jars will keep cool in the refrigerator for about a week.
  7. I use the ready-made cheeses as a salad topping, but they also make a great appetizer or snack. And the flavored olive oil can also be used for salads or in various dishes.
  8. It is great for making spaghetti.
  9. The marinated cheese with fresh spices is ready.
