As the adage goes, the month of March is \u201cin like a lion, out like a lamb.\u201d While this may be true meteorologically, astrologically speaking, March is more: in like a flounder, out like a ram. Welcome to the official beginning of the Zodiac calendar, with fiery Aries leading the way. Gone are the heady, empathetic, emotional days of Pisces the elder. Aries is like the foundling of the Zodiac, determined to prove that she can, almost literally, set the world on fire. It\u2019s no-holds-barred, hang-on-to-your-butts, try-not-to-lock-horns kind of energy, and frankly, I am ready for it. That Aries begins around the same time as the advent of spring seems right: just when you are a little stir crazy from being too much inside your house, (or your own head,) it\u2019s time to burst outside, take in the fresh air, and get back into your body. Who\u2019s ready to rumble?! (Sorry, it\u2019s that Aries spirit taking hold already!)<\/p>\n

Granted, the ewe is mostly responsible for producing milk for cheese, but obviously, the ram is also\u2026involved, so let\u2019s roll with that, shall we? Aries\u2019 personality characteristics are not unlike the characteristics of sheep\u2019s milk cheeses themselves: robust, wild, a little spicy even. We can all use a little inspiration right about now from that kind of boldness, and channel our inner Arieses. Meanwhile, here are 5 cheese and cheesy gifts for celebrating your favorite fire-starters this Aries season.<\/p>\n

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

Shooting Star Creamery Aries<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Shooting Star Creamery<\/a>, an offshoot of Central Coast Creamery<\/a>, produces cheeses inspired by several of the Zodiac signs, but Aries was the first, and has a very Aries story behind it. Cheesemaker Avery Jones, the daughter of Central Coast\u2019s Reggie Jones, was only 15 when she first made Aries, a rich, Alpine-style sheep\u2019s milk cheese. And it pretty much immediately went on to win 3rd place overall in the American Cheese Society competition in 2019, its inaugural year. That\u2019s about as fiery a beginning for Avery as Aries is to the start of the Zodiac. (I\u2019m not going to look up whether or not she\u2019s an Aries, because it will remain true in my heart that way.)<\/p>\n

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

Brebirousse d\u2019Argental<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\u201cSeeing red,\u201d is an apt metaphor for seeing life through Aries-colored glasses, where just about anything has the ability to stir up excitement. Brebis<\/a> refers to sheep\u2019s milk cheese, and Brebirousse literally means \u201cred sheep.\u201d Its tinged red rind is made so with an assist from annatto, but for your Aries friends, it will doubtlessly stoke their never-to-be-extinguished flames. A pasteurized, soft-ripened sheep\u2019s milk cheese from Lyon, France, brebirousse\u2019s decadent paste and robust, earthy flavor has the potential to create a burning passion in just about every sign. (Yes, even emotionally cautious Aquarius.) <\/p>\n

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

Meredith Dairy Feta<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Aries and Capricorn are hardly compatible signs, but sometimes opposites do attract, and when sheep and goat get together as in Meredith Dairy\u2019s Marinated Feta, sometimes the match is a brilliant one. Marinated in Australian extra virgin olive oil, with garlic and herbs, this dreamy feta almost has a cult-like following, and whose portability and bite-size pieces are perfect for the Aries who can\u2019t slow down long enough to even cut the cheese. (Which is all of them.) Read more about Meredith Dairy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

The New Rules of Cheese: A Freewheeling Guide, by Anne Saxelby<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

One of the \u201crules\u201d in Anne Saxelby\u2019s \u201cThe New Rules of Cheese\u201d is: \u201ccheese your own adventure,\u201d which is about as Aries as it gets. As the first of the Zodiac signs, Aries are born leaders, so it\u2019s no surprise that Anne Saxelby, champion of American creameries, was one. She was among the first to try to prove that American artisanal cheeses were worthy of their own pedestal, beginning Saxelby Cheesemongers with a mission to give them the showcase they deserved. Her book maintains its Aries sensibility in the title, subtly insinuating with the word \u201cfreewheeling,\u201d that rules are meant to be broken.

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

Zazzle Opa! Apron<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Always down for a dare, what\u2019s more Aries than seeing what all you can literally set on fire, including cheese? Throw in a bottle of ouzo, a cast-iron skillet, a hunk of sturdy Greek cheese, and this pyromaniacal apron, and you\u2019ve got the perfect Aries gift set.<\/p>\n
