In certain ways the zodiac is a little unhinged. Aquarius is an air sign, not a water one, despite being the water-bearer. Filled with personality, 11 out of 12 signs are animate, and then there\u2019s Libra, the scales. But even Libra is at least a real thing, among the other actual animals and human characters, whereas Capricorn is a mythical sea goat, which is also, by the way, an earth sign; the most grounded, despite being a fictional sea creature. Where\u2019s the sense in any of it? But then again, who said interpreting the stars was any kind of science?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite its random acts of randomness, the zodiac does have one major gift where celestial cheese interpretation is concerned: a full quarter of the signs represent the three primary animals from which most cheese is made. Sea goat or land goat, if you think this Capricorn round-up will consist of mostly goat cheeses and the like…you are correct. Because you shouldn\u2019t look a gift goat in the mouth, and Capricorn, of all the signs, understands that best. (Prepare thy self now for Aries and Taurus season. Sadly, lion\u2019s milk cheese is not a thing\u2026yet?)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Capricorns, whose season spans December 22 through January 19, are steady, practical, mature, ambitious, and intuitive. Much like cheeses, Capricorns are best enjoyed when they are left alone to warm up a bit first. With that, I present 5 goat-cheeses and goat-cheese-themed gifts for celebrating the mythical sea goats in your life this season.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e8vre<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Capricorns are among the least attention-seeking signs, and a simple ch\u00e8vre represents that perfectly. It\u2019s not a stinker, nor a stunner, but still a valuable addition to any cheese plate. For that matter, there\u2019s more than meets the eye where ch\u00e8vre is concerned: as a young, unmanipulated cheese, ch\u00e8vres have a certain intuition, much like Capricorns, and can express subtlety through flavors of seasonal milk. Westfield Farm Capri<\/a>\u00a0excellent example of a ch\u00e8vre made with Capricornian care: produced frequently, and in small batches, to preserve the fresh character and seasonality of each batch.<\/p>\n

Seascape<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

So long as we\u2019re talking about mythical sea goats here, it seems apropos to include a goat cheese from a coastal creamery. The closest we can get to a cheese from an actual sea goat may very well be one made from coastal California goats luxuriating in the salty sea air. <\/p>\n

The appropriately named Seascape is a semi-hard cheese that combines goat and cow\u2019s milk\u2014a nod to fellow sympathetic earth sign Taurus\u2014for an aged cheese redolent of a crumbly salted caramel.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coupole<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Vermont creamery\u2019s Coupole is a curious cheese. It\u2019s a fresh goat cheese with more maturity than is usual for other fresh goat cheeses, kind of like a young Capricorn who has nonetheless been a grownup since childhood. <\/p>\n

It is named for a snow-capped mountain, but its wrinkly geotrichum rind very much resembles a brain, something that should certainly appeal to perfectionist Capricorns whose ambitious grey matter never takes a moment off. Aged for 2 weeks, it\u2019s milder on the inside than on the rind on the outside. <\/p>\n

The<\/strong>\u00a0New Rules of Cheese<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by Anne Saxelby<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The keyword here is \u201crules.\u201d Capricorns are consummate rule-followers, often rule-makers, who are most comfortable when there\u2019s a defined structure to follow. Late cheesemonger Anne Saxelby\u2019s book is especially good for Capricorns then, because while she sets up the idea of having rules, she also establishes through the subtitle, \u201ca Freewheeling and Informative Guide,\u201d that those rules can be more fluid than rigid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vintage Cheese Plates<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Capricorns have a taste for vintage, especially when it demonstrates the kind of quality and craftsmanship that can stand the test of time. These gilded, earthenware cheese plates from Etsy seller My French Idee D\u2019Antique hail from the 1950s and are perfect for showing your favorite Capricorn that you understand what moves them: quality, practicality, gilded goats.<\/p>\n
