King of cheeses facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Various cheeses have been called the king of cheeses. 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; Halloumi, the "king of cooking cheeses"; Västerbotten, the king of Swedish cheeses.

Sometimes lower ranks of nobility are used for other cheeses, e.g., Camembert, the "prince" of cheeses.
