Steps to Prepare Marinated Fresh Cheese
First, drain the fresh cheese from its preserving liquid and pat it dry with paper towels.
Cut the fresh cheese first into strips then into pieces and place them in a bowl.
In a small bowl, pour the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, chives, and basil and mix quickly until an emulsion is created.
Pour the emulsion over the fresh cheese and mix well with two tablespoons, cover with plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours.
After the marinating time in the fridge, remove the plastic wrap, give it a good stir and serve as you like: on its own (for appetizers and aperitifs or as a main course) or as an addition to salads or cold summer dishes.
Serve the marinated fresh cheese with its remaining marinade (most of it is absorbed by the cheese).
