Preparación

1. 1

   Place all ingredients except olives, if using, in 4-cup glass measure or straight-sided jar; stir to combine. Fully submerge contents in oil to prevent early spoilage. Let cheese marinate at least 6 hours or up to 5 days.

2. 2

   Let stand at least 1 hour to come to room temperature before serving. Add olives, if desired, to mixture before serving; stir to combine. Drain excess oil as desired to serve; reserve any drained oil for storage. Mixture may be stored refrigerated up to 5 days.
