In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, heat fennel seeds, peppercorns, and dried red chilies until they just begin to pop and their aroma begins to release. Remove spices to plate or bowl and set aside to cool. Roll the goat cheese, 1 tablespoon at a time, into small balls. Place balls of cheese in 6 quart containers. To the containers, add cooled peppercorns, fennel, and chilies, dividing equally between containers. Add the garlic cloves. Very slightly twist the rosemary springs in your hands to bruise them and release some of their oils, then add them to the jar, along with the bay leaves. Fill the jar with olive oil to cover everything.
