Goat Cheese Marinated In Olive Oil-Queso En Aceite Recipe

In spain, just about anything can be marinated in olive oil and stored in the fridge for another day. Spanish cheese is no exception. Spain is famous for its variety of goat, sheep and cow cheeses, and one of the best ways to enjoy them are jarred in excellent quality extra virgin olive oil with herbs. This method of preservation was mainly used by families who had a flock of sheep or herd of goats. They needed a way to make the cheese they produced last longer, and this was the perfect solution. This goat cheese marinated in olive oil recipe is especially typical of southern spain, and is soaked olive oil, herbs and spices, and then stored in the refrigerator so that the flavors of the garlic, thyme and rosemary become infused into the oil. This is a great tapa to keep in your refrigerator for those last-minute get-togethers. Serve the cheese with baguette slices on a plate with infused oil.
