Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Feta

    Cut the feta cheese into bite-sized cubes and place them in a clean glass jar or container.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel and crush the garlic cloves lightly with the side of a knife to release the flavor, then add them to the jar with the feta.

  3. 3

    Add the Seasonings

    Sprinkle the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper over the feta and garlic in the jar.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Pour the extra virgin olive oil over the feta and seasonings in the jar, making sure the cheese is fully submerged.

  2. 5

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the jar for added flavor and color.

  3. 6

    Seal and Marinate

    Seal the jar tightly with a lid and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Serve the marinated feta with crusty bread, crackers, or as part of a cheese platter. Drizzle some of the infused olive oil over the top before serving.
