Cubed Darigold White Cheddar Cheese with Parsley, Garlic, Red Pepper Flakes and Olives – great for parties and get-togethers as an appetizer or as part of your cheeseboard.

Every year our extended family gets together for the big holidays, you know, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and such. Usually by the time everyone gets together and all the dishes are on the table I am starving.

That’s where a cheese plate or simple appetizer comes in. Like this one.

Marinated Cheese is quick to make and is an affective way to curb the appetite until the main courses are ready, I especially enjoyed it with this Darigold Cheddar Cheese. The creamy but mildly sharp cheddar works perfectly with the rest of the ingredients, you should give it a try!

Marinated Cheese

Mix the parsley, crushed garlic, red pepper flakes and the oil.

Combine the cubed cheese, parsley mixture and the olives.

Arrange the rucola leaves on the plate, top with the cheese and olive mixture.
