What other Marinated Cheese recipes can I put in my Christmas Gift Baskets?

I loooove the Feta cheese idea however, I found out that feta cheese is pretty exspencive. Do you think i can use Cheddar or jack? Or do you know a similar recipe for something along the same line as marinated cheese?
How about:
Marinated Mozzarella
1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon parsley, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/2 cup strong olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Cut the mozzarella into 1-inch cubes. Place in a bowl. Add the parsley, basil, oil, and lemon juice and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
