In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add chopped salad olives, olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, pressed garlic cloves, and finely chopped red onion. Stir until well combined.

Fold in shredded provolone cheese and chopped salami. Gently combine until evenly mixed.

Spoon the cheese mixture onto plastic wrap, shape into a ball, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Remove from plastic wrap and roll in chopped chives until fully covered.

Transfer the finished cheese ball to a serving platter and serve with crispy crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies.
