Notes
Whipped feta can be prepared up to three days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors will actually develop and improve after a day, making this an ideal make-ahead appetizer!
If storing, hold off on the olive oil, parsley, and olive garnishes until just before serving for the freshest appearance. Allow the spread to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving to take the chill off and allow the flavors to fully bloom.
