Components Of The Easy-To-Make Marinated Feta

What You’ll Need:

• Good quality olive oil is essential for the Feta. I used Moires Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil as it is my favorite oil to work with, the quality is out of this world.
• It is best to find a good block of fresh feta, the better the quality the more satisfying your Marinated Feta will be. Feta is great for your bone health as it is an amazing source of calcium and phosphorus, feel good about your cheese!
• Green Olives- I find Lindsey Green Olives a milder flavor my family prefers.
• Herbs of choice. I use Rosemary and Thyme. You can use other herbs, but I prefer heartier herbs that will hold up well in your olive oil as time goes on.
• Crushed red pepper. You can even throw in some black peppercorns.
• Storage jar or container. I used this pretty jar. Wide mouth containers are better to use as the ingredients are so much easier to use.

Why Does The Quality Of Your Olive Oil Matter?

Yes!! There are so many reasons to look into the quality of your olive oil. I personally use Moire's Life Olive Oil for many reasons. It is an extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). This means is it unrefined. This is important when you are looking for quality in any food. The region your olive comes from is also important. Moire's is grown and bottled all the beautiful Kalamata region of Greece. The flavor is exceptional.

How To Marinate Your Feta

Making this dish is so simple. Layer in all your ingredients- the feta, olives, herbs, and seasonings. Then pour your olive oil over the top of your ingredients.

When you finish move the jar to our fridge Allow your feta to set for at least 5 days inside your fridge. This will ensure that the flavors will blend together as best they can. You can see in the video below how I put mine together.

Leftover Olive Oil

When you have finished the feta and olives, do not toss the olive oil! The left-over oil is ideal for salad dressings, drizzle over foods, or cooking with. The flavor is exceptional!
