Crowning the 'King of Cheese'

So, this was my original post at my bosses site:

briesucks[dot]blogspot[dot]com

-----------------------
From DairyReporter.com:
Sales of Stilton, known in dairy circles as the King of Cheeses, have risen 15 per cent for UK dairy firm Milk Link over the last year, the group announced recently.

From WiseGeek.com:
Stilton cheese is a type of blue cheese made in England, and is sometimes referred to as the “King of Cheeses.” Stilton has been made since the 1700s, and has earned a protected origin designation, which means that only Stilton meeting a set of exacting standards can be labeled and sold as Stilton.

From FosterandDobbs.com:
Stilton ain’t called ‘the king of cheese’ for nothing.

--------------
Now I have noticed that other sites call Stilton the “King of English Cheeses,” which would make the fewer instances I could find of Reggiano being called “The King of Cheeses” fit more with the idea of the “King of Italian Cheeses.” At any rate... Reggiano is from northern Italy, which when pressed in the right situation would make one southern Venalian I know very upset.


I look forward to more input... I am setting up my new computer so I apologize that I will not be able to participate in the "meat" of the discussion. Please check in once and a while to check out my future queries.

Thanks,

I love cheese! But i'm very reluctant to give any of them the crown as it depends what the situation and the mood is. I mean who wants Reggiano on a bagel with lox? Or Brie, Epoisses on pasta? They all have their place and while some are obviously better than others I think you need a top 5 rather than an outright winner. Like "the king of blue" (sounds a little like a porno title I know!) soft, hard etc (wow, i'm digging a double entendre hole for myself here)
