For a tangier flavor, consider using a sharp Cheddar cheese. Finely dicing the onion ensures a more pleasant texture throughout the cheese ball. Pitted Kalamata olives can be substituted for green olives for a bolder flavor profile. Make ahead: The cheese ball can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent it from drying out. Serving suggestion: Garnish the serving platter with extra olives and crackers for an elegant presentation.
