Determining a partner, stone, and corresponding color by zodiac sign is already commonplace. It’s time for something new. What are your cheese preferences according to the stars? Let’s find out.
Aries
A person who is used to being original and standing out from the gray mass of other signs. That’s why they are drawn to various experiments and mysteries. So it’s no surprise that the Tarentaise reserve cheese stands out on a plate among its peers. It even holds the title of “best cheese,” awarded by the American Cheese Society.
Taurus
Hurry is not for them, and they follow this rule in all areas of life—from intimacy to eating habits. “Quickly” and “in a rush” are synonyms in their understanding; no compromise on time or quality is acceptable. This is Parmigiano Reggiano! Its quality has been verified for centuries and confirmed by millions of cheese lovers worldwide, who happily use it in various dishes.
Gemini
A walking paradox made of contradictions. Only a multifaceted and “complex” personality can capture a Gemini’s interest. The same goes for menu choices—everything must be new and extraordinary.
The Calcagno cheese stands out with its multifaceted flavor. This salty cheese has a piquant taste, and its preparation process takes three months. Another unusual detail: while eating it, the flavor can change as new notes and aromas of sheep’s milk emerge.
Cancer
A sentimental person with a delicate soul hides behind a tough and rigid shell. You need to know the right string to touch, and once you do, the Cancer will melt (especially in matters of love).
There’s a cheese like that—Taleggio Latte. Beneath its unappealing, rough rind (which might immediately repel you) lies a creamy texture and delicate flavor.
Leo
“Excessive,” “over the top”—these words don’t exist in their vocabulary. By nature, they need everything to be elite, high-class, and expensive. At the slightest opportunity, a Leo will loudly declare their presence.
For a Leo, a rare mountain cheese with extremely limited production is perfect—Toma Bettelmatt. What makes it unusual is its composition: herbs collected from the highest mountains (1,800 meters above sea level) are used in its preparation.
Virgo
Surprises in gastronomy are not to their liking. Quality and naturalness come first. If possible, they would track the entire production process of their favorite cheese and monitor every master of the cheese craft.
On their menu, there’s a place for the famous French cheese Comté, which is perfect for fondue and pairs wonderfully with many traditional recipes around the world.
Libra
People who are partners. Translating this to gastronomy: cheese and honey, cheese and wine. In other words, Libras are best suited to cheese varieties that pair excellently with different drinks and foods.
Any gourmet combination can be built around the Sola di bufala cheese, known for its subtle flavor and delicate aroma.
Scorpio
Live to the fullest—that’s the motto of these individuals. They are fans of strong and intense flavors. Scorpios believe they have refined taste, and this applies to their culinary preferences as well.
Gorgonzola fits these requirements perfectly. You can find it in many supermarkets, but not all Gorgonzola will suit a Scorpio. At minimum, it should be aged for 200 days, or even 300 days if the 200-day variety turns out to be too mild.
Sagittarius
Passionate travelers and seekers of the best, they collect the wonders of the world like a mosaic, including the culinary traditions of the places they visit.
They would likely be fascinated by Ricotta Passita, a rare cheese made exclusively from sheep’s milk (its homeland is the Italian town of Abruzzo). This variety is aged for three months. Another feature of Ricotta Passita is the addition of red pepper—a perfect combination for Sagittarians.
Capricorn
Above all, quality and tradition. Only varieties tested by time are worth their attention; Capricorns have no intention of straining their taste buds for new cheese “trends.”
Well, time-tested quality—that’s the hard cheese Paglierino. It has a wonderful flavor and a pleasant aftertaste with a hint of citrus. It pairs well with many products and is widely used in cooking, especially when melted or served hot.
Aquarius
Progressive and slightly eccentric Aquarians want something new. Ideally, the product should have a unique story where they are interested in every detail: the place, time, and how it’s made.
Reading Raclette has such a story. It has a slightly salty taste and a nutty aroma. The most famous farm that produces it is located in the state of Vermont. Through charitable foundations, it provides scholarships to poor students studying at agricultural universities.
Pisces
Owners of the most complex zodiac character, skillfully combining a cocktail of cheerfulness, mystery, and sensitivity.
They are suited to one type of ricotta—Ricotta Scorza Nera. Unlike its counterparts, it has a unique texture and flavor. This initially soft cheese, after 100 days of aging and developing a special dark rind, transforms into a semi-soft variety.
