Boursin Garlic & Herbs cheese

Boursin: A French Culinary Icon

Boursin is a world-renowned brand of Gournay cheese, famous for its creamy texture and distinct flavoring. The brand was created in 1957 by François Boursin, a cheesemaker in Normandy, France. Inspired by the traditional French dish of fromage frais served with fine herbs, Boursin perfected his own recipe and officially launched it to the market, quickly becoming the first flavored cheese to be nationally advertised in France.

Today, Boursin continues its legacy of high-quality dairy production. While primarily manufactured in France to maintain its authentic heritage and adherence to European dairy standards, it is also produced in other locations globally through strategic partnerships to ensure freshness in different markets. The Garlic & Herbs variety remains the brand's most recognizable and popular flavor worldwide.

Since 2007, Boursin has been a key part of the Bel Group portfolio. This French multinational company specializes in branded cheeses and has transformed Boursin into an international staple available in over 30 countries. The Bel Group is headquartered in Suresnes, France, and remains under the majority ownership of the family-founded Unibel company, ensuring the brand maintains its French character and craftsmanship.
