Shred white cheddar and place in a small mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese, dried cranberries, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with a fork.
Add pistachios to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
Roll cheese mixture into a ball and coat with pistachios, being sure to evenly press the pistachios around the cheese.
Wrap tightly with plastic wrap (I also put my wrapped cheese ball in a ziploc bag for extra protection from drying out.), and let rest in the fridge for 24 hours before serving.
