Cheeses serve such very different roles, and as such it is almost impossible to crown a single cheese the God of All Cheeses. Instead, we can rejoice in a pantheon of cheese!
On fresh, warm bread? Sweet, soft, spreadable fontainbleau. As a sliceable sandwich filling? You want Leerdammer. As a melty ingredient to a meal? Fetch the gruyere for the cauliflower cheese, the fondue pot, the hot wrap. As a melty thing enjoyed on its own? Put your brie in a hollow cottage loaf and toast gently till it's warm and oozing. To defend against one's foes, Vieux Lille has been known to slay dragons with its scent alone. For dessert, fetch mascarpone and drizzle it with honey.
All must bow, though, before Halloumi. It is Jupiter, Zeus, Atum-Ra, the lord of all cheese gods. No other cheese posseses Halloumi's unique qualities, and it stands alone.
