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

There comes a time in every horoscope writer\u2019s life when she is asked to unlock the cheesy mysteries of her own sign. For this author, that time has come. One would think that would make for the easiest assignment; that I could simply pick my faves and pronounce them \u201cTauresean\u201d (rhymes with Parisian, obviously,) and yet, it seems like a lot more is at stake to make sure I get them really right this month. Then again, maybe there is something more than just self-consciousness at work here; the hallmark of any good zodiac interpreter is to be able to channel the particular energy of the sign at hand and act accordingly. On that score, I have to say that the Aries ideas came hot and fast, which is very much in accordance with the zodiac firestarters. Technically I should be channeling Taurus all of the damn time\u2014I\u2019m not even close to cusping either Aries or Gemini\u2014but I am feeling extra sluggish and stubborn about proclaiming the cheesy gifts befitting the bulls of the world, which kind of feels like I have doubled down on my Taurus attributes for the occasion, as is evidenced by the ever-increasing length of this intro paragraph. (*Closes up laptop momentarily for a little catnap in the cozy corner of the couch\u2026*)<\/p>\n

Then again, it would be an easy, lazy out\u2014and yet still completely on Taurus brand\u2014to just simply pick the richest, priciest, cow\u2019s milk cheeses and call it day, which turns out to be a strategy that produces some of my faves, so here we are back at the possibility of a simple exercise in zodiac self-awareness. With that, here are 5 cheesy gifts to indulge your pleasure-seeking Taurus friends, or with which to indulge yourself if you really want to celebrate the spirit of the bull this month. As one famous Taurus TV character once said many, many times over: \u201cTREAT YO\u2019SELF.\u201d (If you know, you know.)<\/p>\n

\"Vacherin

Vacherin Mont d\u2019Or<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

The catch-22 of proclaiming Vacherin Mont d\u2019Or (or even its American tribute counterpart, Rush Creek Reserve<\/span><\/a>,) a hallmark, Taurus cheese, is that the likelihood of getting this seasonal, winter milk cheese in late April to early May is slim. (You could always gift it to your Taurus friends for Christmas, however.) But it really is the most Tauresean of cheeses, made from extra-rich milk from Alpine cows after they\u2019ve come back to the barn for the winter, feeding on carbs, delighting in laziness, and not worrying about bathing suit season coming any time soon. The root word \u201cvach\u201d here literally means cow. (Consequently, it is also the root of my surname, which perhaps makes me the most Taurus writer ever, so somebody please just find me some Vacherin this month, okay?)<\/p>\n

\"Delice

To really get into a Taurus mindset, ask yourself: why settle for double cr\u00e8me when you could have triple cr\u00e8me? Rich, dreamy D\u00e9lice de Bourgogne is about as close as one could get to eating butter outright and calling it a snack, which would be a very Taurus thing to do, if we weren\u2019t so concerned about seeming like we have great taste and sophistication. Plus it\u2019s a particularly excellent cheese to pair with Champagne, and if there\u2019s one sure way to a Taurus\u2019s heart, it\u2019s through your bank account.<\/p>\n

\"Tete

T\u00eate de Moine<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Tauruses are earthy, sensual creatures who love to be showered with gifts that appeal to all of the senses. An aromatic bouquet of flowers will always be pleasing, but if those flowers are made from aromatic, lacy cheese petals? Now you\u2019ve really got the bull by the horns. Switzerland\u2019s T\u00eate de Moine also necessitates a special rotary tool\u2014a girolle\u2014with which to shave those fancy petals, meaning that you will have spent more money in the process, which will not go unnoticed here.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cThe Oxford Companion to Cheese,\u201d edited by Catherine Donnelly and Mateo Kehler<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

Not every book deserves to be called a tome, but with over 850 entries dedicated to the exploration of the more than 1400 named cheeses of the world, \u201cThe Oxford Companion to Cheese\u201d is definitely one that does. It\u2019s not so much that Tauruses are the most likely to take this on for being the most cerebral or studious people in the zodiac, it\u2019s that giving a book of this length to a Taurus means giving them the gift that they most crave: a reason to stay home. <\/p>\n

Taureseans\u2019 love language is \u201cnot having to get off of the couch.\u201d So nothing says \u201cI love you\u201d to a Taurus quite like a subscription that brings an expertly curated cheese plate kit right to them, at home, on schedule, monthly.
