I love olives. If that totally grosses you out I can understand. We can (probably) still be friends. Olives tend to be one of those polarizing foods. You either love them or you HATE them.
I love them. Especially green olives and kalamata. And now I love marinated olives too.
If you're going to try marinating your own olives you might as well marinate some feta too! Here's a list of things you need:
feta cheese (or goats milk cheese)
olives (black or green)
olive oil
And here are some ideas for marinating ingredients:
fresh dill
fresh rosemary
fresh thyme
red pepper flakes
whole black peppercorns
fennel seeds
The process as is as simple as you might think. Fill a clean jar with olives or cubed feta. As you layer, add in sprigs of dill, rosemary, and thyme. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, peppercorns and fennel seeds. Fill the jar with olive oil, until it covers the olives or feta so they are fully submerged. Now you're ready to snack!
I like to snack on these at the same time, one olive with one little cube of feta. I think this would make a great (and super easy) summer appetizer idea too. 
I've read that if the feta is fully submerged in the oil, it doesn't need to be refrigerated—as long as it's consumed within a couple of days. I choose to go ahead and refrigerate mine, just to be on the safe side. I found that the olive oil will become thicker with refrigeration, but the feta was still delicious. If you refrigerate, you should be fine to store and use these for up to two weeks. Enjoy! xo. Emma
P.S. Want more easy appetizer ideas? Try: baked pizza bites, herbed goat cheese, brussels sprouts chips or whole wheat pretzel bites.
Hello Elsie and Emma my name is Barbara and while browsing through Pintrest I came across your post on olives and feta. Because I ‘ve been doing this for a long time if I may give you a small tip. If you want to put your feta in the fridge use corn oil instead of olive oil. It does not get thick like olive oil also when you cut the feta let it dry out for a day before you marinate it. Drying it out keeps the cheese from getting soggy if you wish to make a bigger batch. I sun dry my feta for days in the summer sun and make a lot of jars which keep through fall and winter. Just make sure that the jars are stored in a cool place. A pinner from far away (Corfu Greece). Have a wonderful day

This is such a great- and simple (very key!) idea! And a great snack alternative when in the mood for something salty.
oh feta marinated in olive oil can last much more than a few days! a few months is much better… and you don’t need to refrigerate, oil is a natural preserver… beautiful pics!
Yum! Not sure why I never thought to marinate feta at home…I always buy it. Can’t wait to try a few recipe combinations this weekend!
Oh. My. Goodness. I love olives and feta, but never thought to marinate my own! Thanks for the great idea and recipe. I’m sure these would go great with one of your hummus recipes too.
Thanks again!
