Here you go: chop the cheese and add it to a salad; add marinated cooked shrimp with olives and serve over steamed asparagus; use in a cold pasta salad.
Serve with crusty bread, calamata olives, crisp sweet grapes or Bosc pear slices. Great appetizer.
Cover and refrigerate up to 1 week. Are you sayng this is only good for 1 week?
Pleae advise
The texture of the cheese will become less appetizing after 1 week.
