Storing feta cheese in olive oil?

Hi,

Yes you can store Feta in olive oil and no need to refrigerate BUT also do not freeze it, it will change the consistency considerably. I marinate mine all the time since it doesn't last long otherwise.

Steps to follow...

Break a piece of feta cheese into small pieces (about 1 inch to 1.5 inches each).

Place a layer of fresh herbs on the bottom of a glass jar. Some herbs to consider are basil, oregano, thyme, bay, fennel and rosemary, but any favorite herb will work fine alone or in combination.

Place a layer of feta on the top of the herbs. Repeat the layers until the jar is full.

Fill the jar with olive oil, making sure that the cheese and herbs are completely covered. Place the lid on the jar and secure it in place. The marinated feta will keep for months on the pantry shelf, provided it remains covered in oil.

Storing Feta Cheese

You need to rethink your take on what causes botulism. Oil is not a conductive for botulism. Poorly preserved foods usually in the canning process where air and bacteria can get into the food CAN cause botulism, however, it's not a guarantee. Botulism is very rare and people freak out needlessly.

Feta cheese in olive oil should best be stored in the fridge. You can't have an infected cheese in uninfected oil. That just doesn't make sense.

Greek yogurt: dislike, but I don't really like yogurt in general Olive oil: like. I love the smell of it, and I use it a lot. Feta cheese: ehh, can take it or leave it, I like the French version which is creamer and meant to be eaten by itself, but the normal Greek version which is saltier and just for baking....I mean, if I'm using it for baking...

yes it goes good with it
