How to Make Feta And Olives In A Jar

Pat 8 ounces of feta cheese dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a clean, sterilized jar (approximately 1-pint size), layer half of the feta cubes.
Add 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (pitted), 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh oregano, and 1 clove minced garlic.
Repeat layers with the remaining feta, olives, oregano, and garlic.
Slowly pour in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.
Seal the jar tightly. Let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least one week (longer is better!) to allow the flavors to meld.
Once opened, refrigerate and enjoy within 2 weeks.
