For a cheese board

Which of these records would you pick for a cheese board?

Provisional data

The scores, keeping classes, rarity values, and use tags behind these picks on this site are unsourced placeholders, not measurements or tested advice. Nothing here has been tasted, verified, or reviewed. Values may change or be replaced once research and editorial review land.

How these three were chosen

Rule: Records tagged cheese, ranked by aroma from highest to lowest, ties broken by display name from A to Z.

Ranked by
aroma, then display name from A to Z
Scope
Only records carrying the provisional use tag "cheese".

The rule is applied to the provisional 1-5 fixture numbers, so this ordering is arithmetic on placeholders, not a recommendation.
