02 - Spoon the cheese mixture onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log approximately 8 inches long, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm.
03 - Combine fresh parsley, dill, chives, and lemon zest in a shallow dish, mixing evenly.
04 - Remove the chilled cheese log from the plastic wrap and roll it in the herb mixture, pressing gently to achieve an even coating on all sides.
