In a large bowl, use a pastry blender to mix the cheese, butter, and paprika. Gradually blend in the flour with the pastry blender, then switch to your hands and work the mixture until the dough becomes a solid, smooth ball that crumbles when pulled apart. If the dough seems too dry, add more shredded cheese.

Pinch off a small piece of dough and wrap it around an olive. Roll it gently between your palms to smooth the dough and seal the olive inside. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives. Cover the olives and refrigerate to firm up, about 10 minutes.
