How to make marinated feta​

To make this quick recipe, prepare a mason jar with a tight lid to seal to store your marinated feta. Here’s how to make this marinated cheese recipe (printer-friendly recipe below):

• Slice or cube the feta. Slice feta into thick slices or cubes and place them in a mason jar.
• Combine the feta with olive oil, dried herbs and chile pepper. Mix about 1/2 cup good extra virgin olive oil with lemon zest, dried oregano and fresh parsley, sliced jalapeño, and dry chiles (if you can’t handle spicy food, you can omit the chiles). Pour the olive oil mixture over the feta. If needed, top with more olive oil to cover the feta completely.
• Allow it to marinate. Seal the jar tightly and store in the fridge for 24 hours before using. This allows the flavors to meld. (I know it is hard to wait, and if you must serve it, just leave it room temp for 30 minutes or so).
• Serve at room temperature. Take the marinated feta out of the fridge about an hour before serving so it can reach room temperature.

How long will marinated feta keep?​

Marinating feta in quality olive oil helps it last in the fridge for a good two to three weeks or so, if stored properly. Seal the jar tightly after each use.
