Boursin was created in 1957 by Francois Boursin, a cheesemaker in Normandy in France. His first variety, Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs, was inspired by a long-standing traditional dish: fromage frais, which is fresh cheese served with a bowl of fine herbs, which allowed each person to create his or her own personally seasoned cheese.The triple-cream cheese is made in small or miniature drums of 5.2 ounces and we sell 3 varieties: Garlic and Fine Herbs, and Shallot and Chive, Peppers. Boursin is Certified Kosher by Orthodox Union.
