Qualifications
Affineurs must be full Cheesemeister for at least 10 years, and be considered an adult, unless there is full agreement by the current Affineurs that this Cheesemeister will improve the Society so much that the restriction can be waived.
For example, the youngest Affineur ever was 14 years old. Due to an injury when he was young, he was unable to work his family's farm and showed an afinity for books and knowledge. He became a full Cheesemeister at 10, and by the age of 12 had categorized the entire Cheese Cellar library and was beginning to build a system that could be used to quickly cross-reference other books. He became the first Affineur of Genera, and went on to build the Cheese Codex and cattle breeding tables still in use to this day.
