Determining a partner, stone, and corresponding color by zodiac sign is already commonplace. Something new is wanted. What are the cheese preferences according to the stars? Time to 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 is with the cheese Tarentaise reserve—it stands out on a plate among its peers. It even holds the title of “best cheese,” bestowed by the American Cheese Society.
Taurus
Haste is not for them, and this rule applies in all areas of life: from intimacy to eating habits. “Quickly” and “in a rush” are synonyms in their understanding; time and quality cannot be overlooked. 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 constant contradictions. Only a multifaceted and “complex” personality can attract the interest of a Gemini. The same goes for menu choices—everything must be new and extraordinary.
The cheese Calcagno has a multifaceted flavor. This salty cheese has a piquant taste, and its preparation process stretches over three months. There’s another unusual nuance: 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 hard and rigid shell. You need to know the right string to touch—once you do, Cancer will melt (especially in matters of love).
There is such a cheese—Taleggio Latte. Beneath its uneven, unappetizing rind (which might immediately repel you) lies a creamy texture and delicate flavor.
Leo
“Excessive,” “too much”—such words do not exist in their vocabulary. By nature, they need everything to be elite, high-class, and expensive. At the slightest opportunity, Leo loudly declares their presence.
For Leo, a very rare mountain cheese with extremely limited production is suitable—Toma Bettelmatt. What sets it apart is its unusual composition: herbs collected from the highest mountains (1800 meters above sea level) are used in its preparation.
Virgo
Surprises in gastronomy are not to their liking. Quality and naturalness are the priority. If possible, they would track the entire preparation process of their favorite cheese and monitor every master of cheesemaking.
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 worldwide.
Libra
People are partners. Translated into gastronomy, these are tandems: cheese and honey, cheese and wine. In other words, Libras are perfectly suited to cheese varieties that pair excellently with different drinks and foods.
Any gourmet combinations can be built around the cheese Sola di bufala, which is characterized by a mild taste and delicate aroma.
Scorpio
Live to the fullest—that’s the principle of these people. They are fans of strong and intense flavors. Scorpios believe they have an elite taste, and this applies to their gastronomic preferences as well.
Gorgonzola meets these requirements; it can be found in many supermarkets. But not just any Gorgonzola will suit a Scorpio—it must be aged for at least 200 days, or even 300 days (if the 200-day variety seems too mild).
Sagittarius
Avid 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 will likely be fascinated by the rare cheese Ricotta Passita, made exclusively from sheep’s milk (its homeland is the Italian town of Abruzzo). This variety is aged for three months. The red pepper used in Ricotta Passita gives it a unique touch—an excellent combination for Sagittarius.
Capricorn
Above all, quality and tradition. Only varieties tested by time—Capricorns have no intention of straining their taste buds for the sake of new cheese “trends.”
Well, time-tested quality is the hard cheese Paglierino. It has a wonderful flavor and a pleasant aftertaste reminiscent 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 its own unique story, in which Aquarius is interested in every detail: the place, time, and how.
The cheese Reading Raclette has such a story. It has a slightly salty taste and a hint of nutty aroma. The most famous farm that produces it is located in the state of Vermont. It supports poor students studying at agricultural universities through charitable foundations.
Pisces
Owners of the most complex zodiacal character, skillfully combining a cocktail of cheerfulness, mystery, and sensitivity.
They are suited to one type of ricotta—Ricotta Scorza Nera, which differs from its group in texture and flavor. This initially soft cheese, after 100 days of aging and developing a special dark rind, transforms into a semi-soft variety.
