Ingredients

• 4 rounds Hermelin cheese (or Camembert)
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1.5 cups Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Czech or other pickling spice mix
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 leaves Bay leaves
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 teaspoon Crushed white peppercorns

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, pickling spice mix, and crushed white peppercorns. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are fully blended.

Step 2

Cut each round of Hermelin or Camembert cheese in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds from each. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a sterilized glass jar or airtight container, layer some of the sliced onions, a few garlic slices, a couple of thyme sprigs, and a bay leaf on the bottom.

Step 4

Place a layer of the cut cheese rounds on top of the aromatics.

Step 5

Repeat layering with the remaining onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of aromatics on top.

Step 6

Pour the prepared marinade over the layered cheese until completely covered. Gently press down on the solid ingredients to ensure they are all submerged in the liquid.

Step 7

Securely cover the jar or container with a lid. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 3 to 5 days to let the flavors blend and infuse into the cheese.

Step 8

Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Serve with gluten-free bread or crackers.
