  Home | About Boursin® | Boursin® Heritage
For over half a century, Boursin has been the delicious choice of savvy hosts and hostesses the world over.

Boursin was created in 1957 by Francois Boursin, a cheesemaker in Normandy, France. His first variety, Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs, was inspired by a long-standing traditional dish: fromage frais (fresh cheese) served with a bowl of fine herbs, which allowed each person to create his or her own personally seasoned cheese.

Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs was the first flavored fresh cheese to be sold throughout France, and was soon followed by Boursin Pepper. Today, Boursin Cheese is a staple in the French kitchen, and is enjoyed by discerning food-lovers in some 35 countries on five continents.

Boursin Cheese is Gournay Cheese. What's that mean?
