Here's the perfect hostess gift - easy, tasty, inexpensive (but looks otherwise), and wonderful to say, "I made this myself"!

What you need:

A block of cheese (feta, mozzarella, goat cheese, or even halloumi)

Any of our Extra Virgin Olive Oils

Flavor add-ins: fresh herbs (rosemary, dill, thyme, oregano), garlic cloves, peppercorns, lemon or orange zest, sun-dried tomatoes (or a teaspoon of our Sun Dried Tomato Tapenade) crushed red pepper, etc.

A glass jar or two

Directions:

Cut the cheese into cubes or bite-sized pieces.

Add a few layers of cheese and herbs/spices into the jar.

Pour olive oil over everything until its fully submerged.

Seal and refrigerate. Let it marinate for at least 24 hours (but up to a week is even better).

Make a personalized label!

The ultimate picnic snack, road trip nibble, or last-minute addition to a snack board. You might even want to keep a few on hand for yourself (trust us).

This summer, skip the wine and bring the cheese — beautifully bottled, flavor-packed, and straight from your kitchen with Beyond The Olive Extra Virgin Olive Oil!
