Remove paper and wax layer from cheese. Peel shallots and garlic. Cut garlic into thin slices. Wash rosemary, bay leaf and chilli peppers and dab dry well.
Put cheese, shallots, garlic, plucked rosemary, bay leaf, chillies and peppercorns in a glass. Top up with oil until all ingredients are covered. Close the glass and let it stand in the refrigerator for at least 2 days. When stored in a cool and dark place, the cheese keeps for about 1 week.
