Not bad, but I think I would have preferred a different type of cheese. Maybe a feta or a blue cheese?

So refreshing and flavorful! The olives are briny and tangy, the herbs add a nice pop of freshness, and the goat cheese is creamy and rich. I loved serving these at my summer party.

Easy and delicious. I omitted the goat cheese because I'm vegan, but they were still amazing.

The combination of flavors in these olives is divine! The lemony tang, the herbaceousness from the herbs, and the smoothness of the goat cheese...it's a party in my mouth. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
