Place your fresh basil and parsley on the cutting board. Use your sharp kitchen knife to chop them very finely. Peel your garlic cloves and mince them into tiny pieces.

Grab your glass mason jar and open the lid. Pour the extra virgin olive oil directly into the bottom. Add the chopped herbs and minced garlic to the oil.

Measure your dried oregano and red pepper flakes carefully. Toss them into the jar with the oil. Add the lemon zest, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Take your small metal spoon and stir the mixture. Make sure all the spices are distributed evenly. The oil should look green and full of herbs.

Drop the dried mozzarella balls into the herb oil gently. Make sure the oil covers the cheese completely. Put the lid on the jar and tighten it fast.

Shake the jar with your hands for ten seconds. Ensure every single cheese ball gets coated in herbs. Place the jar inside your refrigerator to chill.

Let the cheese marinate for at least one hour. This waiting time allows the flavors to sink deep inside. Bring to room temperature right before you serve it.
