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:
- Parmigiano Reggiano[2][3]
- Brie de Meaux: Congress of Vienna (1814). In fact, it was declared "Prince des fromages, et premier des desserts" ("prince of cheeses, and first among desserts"), which only later became "king of cheeses, cheese of kings".[4][5][6][7]
- Roquefort: Frédéric Leblanc du Vernet, 1869[8][9][10]
- Époisses: Brillat-Savarin, early 19th century[11]
- Stilton (1912)[12]
- Cheddar[13]
Cheeses are idiosyncratically named "kings" of particular kinds of cheese by individual writers: Maroilles, the king of strong cheeses;[14] Halloumi, the "king of cooking cheeses";[15] Västerbotten, the king of Swedish cheeses.[16] [17]
Sometimes lower ranks of nobility are used for other cheeses, e.g., Camembert, the "prince" of cheeses.[18]
