How to Make Marinated Dry Jack Cheese In Herbed Olive Oil

  1. Sterilize a decorative jar (approx. 1 pint).
  2. Layer 8 ounces of Dry Jack cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, in the jar.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary sprigs.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon black peppercorns and 2 cloves of minced garlic over the cheese and herbs.
  5. Slowly pour 1 cup extra virgin olive oil over the cheese, ensuring it's completely submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of the jar.
  6. Cover the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 week, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it becomes!
  7. Bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy with crusty bread, crackers, or vegetables.
