If the olives are rinsed off then dried it should not be as salty as some have complained about. Also make sure to use garlic powder and not garlic salt.

I'm an olive lover, but the olive flavor in this cheese ball was just overpowering.

For those who think it's too salty, you may want to use unsalted butter. Just a thought.

I liked this ok, but evidently my guests did not because hardly anyone ate it. I think I would make it again and leave out the garlic powder.

I made this for christmas I thought it was pretty good. My family didn't seem to like it too much. I think I would make it again for another party.

This is my favorite cheese ball of all time. If you love green olives you will love this!! Served with toasted french bread is the best!

Took this to 'snack day' at work, and brought some home. But, no problem, more for me! I like it!

This is a great cheese ball and very easy to make. After mixing ingredients together, it was a little too soft to roll into a ball. I just put it in the fridge for about an hour and it was perfect to work with. I rolled mine in pecans. Everyone just loved this recipe. Next time I am going to try using Italian seasoned olives. Great recipe for any get-together.

Just what I was kinda looking for. Simple but very tasty. I didn't have garlic powder. Used 4 cloves of smashed roasted garlic. Let it rest overnight. Take out of fridge at least 1/2 hour before serving. ---thank you for recipe

I thought it was very good, but extremely salty. My family apparently loves salt, though, because everyone raved!! I'd make it again, maybe with less olives and garlic.

This cheese ball is wonderful! It has become an annual addition to my Christmas Eve appetizers. It is extremely simple, beautiful to look at, and wonderfully tasty - I serve it with assorted bagel chips.
