Marinated Cheese
Description
The Marinated Cheese recipe combines 1-inch cubes of Jarlsberg cheese with sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme, halved red pearl onions, smashed garlic cloves, and whole white peppercorns. These ingredients are packed into a mason jar and completely covered in olive oil to prevent spoilage. The mixture is left at room temperature to marinate for a minimum of 24 hours and up to two weeks, allowing the cheese to absorb the herbal flavors while softening slightly. The olive oil acts as both a flavor carrier and preservative. This preparation results in a richly flavored, aromatic cheese that is enhanced by the infusion of fresh herbs and spices. The marinated cheese can be served on its own or with black olives, making it an excellent addition to antipasto platters or casual snacking.
