Various cheeses have been called the king of cheeses.[1] The title is informal, and there is no standard definition, but a few are more consistently called that than others, especially in their countries of origin:
Cheeses are idiosyncratically named "kings" of particular kinds of cheese by individual writers: Maroilles, the king of strong cheeses;[11] Halloumi, the "king of cooking cheeses";[12] Västerbotten, the king of Swedish cheeses.[13][14]
Sometimes lower ranks of nobility are used for other cheeses, e.g., Camembert, the "prince" of cheeses.[15]
... that it has earned the nickname in the dairy industry, 'The King of Cheeses'.
