Instructions: Place the basil and garlic in a blender or food processor. Hit the

"pulse" button or "on-off" switch to chop the basil and garlic without creating a puree.

Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the vinegar, cheese, salt and pepper. Whisk in the oil then adjust seasonings.

Ladle the mixture into several clean jars with tight-fitting lids. May be stored in the refrigerator for several months (bring to room temperature to serve).

When serving, mix oil to blend seasonings and pour into small, shallow platters or rimmed plates. Slice or tear bread into pieces and dip into oil to eat.
