Feta cheese is delicious but has a short shelf life of about a week once opened due to its moisture content. By submerging the cheese in olive oil, it can be preserved for up to three weeks. The oil blocks oxygen, preventing spoilage, while herbs or spices can be added for extra flavor. Proper preservation techniques, including drying the cheese and sterilizing jars, are key for maintaining quality. This method not only extends the life of feta but also creates a tasty oil for dressings.
Once opened, feta cheese has a short lifespan in the fridge, typically lasting around a week, thus requiring effective preservation methods to avoid spoilage.
Submerging feta in olive oil not only extends its shelf life up to three weeks but also enhances its flavor, creating a delicious oily marinade.
