Morphology
preem + choice
The element 'preem' is not a recognized dictionary word, so a B1 learner who only knows 'choice' cannot derive the intended meaning. The phrase appears to be slang or a clipped form (e.g., of 'premium' or 'preeminent'), making the overall sense unpredictable from its parts and thus opaque to learners.
Etymology
Preem choice may come from shortening the word 'premium' to preem, where preem means top quality and choice means option. Imagine a shop where the best product has a 'premium' tag and people pick it first, so preem choice means 'the best or most preferred option'.
