Boursin is a renowned brand of Gournay cheese, a creamy and crumbly fresh cheese that originated in the Normandy region of France. It was first created by François Boursin in 1963, who was inspired by a traditional French dish of fromage frais served with herbs. The brand became the first ever to be featured in a national French television commercial, solidifying its place in culinary culture.

Today, Boursin is a global brand owned by the Bel Group (Groupe Bel), a multinational cheese specialist headquartered in Suresnes, France. While the product is marketed and sold internationally, production primarily remains concentrated in France, particularly for the European market, to maintain its status as a French specialty product. The Bel Group continues to manage the brand's growth and distribution through its extensive network of subsidiaries worldwide.
