About Us: Artisanal Heritage

Specialty cheese for life's favorite moments.

For over half a century, Boursin has been the delicious choice of savvy hosts and cheese-lovers the world over.

  • Born in the French countryside.

    The world’s first variety of Boursin was created in 1957 in Normandy by Francois Boursin. Inspired by a long-standing traditional dish, fromage frais (fresh cheese), in which guests mixed their own seasoned cheese from a bowl of fine herbs, the expert cheese maker introduced Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs. His recipe quickly became the first flavored fresh cheese to be sold throughout France. Today, discerning fans in over 35 countries across five continents enjoy the taste of Boursin Cheese.

  • Part of an American tradition.

    Boursin is made by Bel Brands USA, a subsidiary of Fromageries Bel, a family-owned cheese maker headquartered in Paris, France. Fromageries Bel produces more than 30 local and international cheese brands that are sold in more than 120 countries around the globe. Other Bel Brands USA favorites include The Laughing Cow® and Mini Babybel® cheese snacks, as well as the popular cheese spreads Kaukauna®, WisPride® and Merkts®.
