Mmmm this is very good! I love cheese balls but I'm the only one in the family who does so I reduced the amounts to 1/2 for most (except onion and garlic) so I wouldn't have too much to eat. Worked out just fine.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! We had a group of friends over tonight for appetizers and this cheese ball is out of this world delicious! I love the combination of cheeses along with the onion, worcestershire sauce, green olives and pecans. It is the perfect combination of tanginess and creaminess. Thanks, Annacia!

If I were to rate this personally I would give it 3 stars. I f I were to rate it by the reation of the folks i served it to i would give it 5. I didn't overly care for this cheese ball but others did to the extent of people hunting down the recipe. Here's what i didn't like: there should be instructions to chill for 4 hours BEFORE rolling into a ball as the mixture was impossible to roll. It was much too creamy to shape and the pecans just sunk in which ruined the presentation. Although the pecans were a festive touch i thought their flavor was overpowering for this and think that walnuts would be much beter. Also the cheese was very sharp. I think i should probably give it another shot.

It was a big hit at our Thanksgiving gathering. I thought that it needed a little less blue cheese
