King of cheeses

Various cheeses have been called "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 types of cheese by individual writers: Maroilles, the king of strong cheeses; Halloumi, the "king of cooking cheeses"; Västerbotten, the king of Swedish cheeses; and Emmental, the king of Swiss cheeses.

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