Le Groupe Bel > Boursin® inspires, you create BOURSIN® INSPIRES, YOU CREATE Leading brand, Boursin® seduces cooking enthusiasts with its generous texture and unique fresh taste that brings out the full flavor of its ingredients. History When French consumers discovered Boursin® in 1963, it was love at first sight. Combining garlic, cream, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, the cheese expanded on a Normandy tradition. At the same time, Boursin® distinguished itself by a sensational yet smooth taste and revolutionary packaging, which opened like a flower to reveal the famous cheese. Supported by innovative and irreverent advertising campaigns, the brand created in a little Normandy town by François Boursin took wing. Boursin® today Boursin® joined the Bel family of cheese brands in 2007. Today, along with its essential place on the cheese platter, Boursin® is a friend to chefs and gourmets everywhere. Branching out from its original recipe, the brand dares to surprise with more daring recipes such as Boursin® Velvety and Boursin® Dairy Free. The brand has developed creative formats such as Boursin Cuisine® and has established itself in the aperitif section with Boursin® Rolls, Boursin® Inspiration and more recently Boursin® Les Tartinables Créatifs, a fresh deli range. The brand is also growing into new uses through meal solutions with Boursin® Salad & Appetizer. Always up to date, the fresh and intense taste of this typically French cheese has conquered taste buds well beyond the borders of France. The brand is very much a favorite in the US, Canada and Japan.
