Boursin Soft Cheese

The thing about cream cheese is it’s just so decadent, it turns previously healthy food items (Ryvita, Oatcakes) into little crunchy slices of sin, and you know what? I love it! I’m a committed fan of Roule cream cheese, the taste is divine and the smell is actually quite nice (for a cheese) but recently I have been getting bored of it, so I decided to try something different. That different thing is Boursin (you know: Du pain, Du vin, Du Boursin). It comes in a little 80g box for 90p, which I think it a bit of a bargain. Open the box and slide out a squat cylindrical foil package about the ... more

Got to love the taste! Boursin is a 150gram round of cream cheese, wrapped in foil and presented in a neat white cardboard box. Both of which are recyclable. The flavour we buy the most often is the original, garlic and fine herbs. We have been know to bring this back from France where it is about half the price and it's easy to carry. It is widely available in most supermarkets and larger grocery stores. Perks of the job I used to work at a conference centre in Lancashire and the cook/caterer would smuggle extra little portions of Boursin to me after my dinner because she knew how much I ... more

I'd choose savoury over sweet any day of the week and Boursin is one of the products I almost always have in the fridge - it's so versatileand can be eaten hot or cold at any time of the day - it's pure heaven.

It is smooth and creamy but not in a sickly way, almost fluffy in texture but it will also spread quite easily onto a cracker. Boursin is available in three flavours; Garlic & Fine Herbs - the traditional flavour and my personal favourite, Light ... more

Today is the lucky day that I tell you all about the most delicious creamy yum cheese in the world. I am also going to tell you how to make a chicken and Boursin recipe which is absolutely divine, have I ever lied to you? Ooh you are excited aren’t you! Now you must have heard the of the advert “Du pain, du vin et du Boirsin (bread, wine and Boursin for you non French speakers). It was one of the most famous and successful French adverts in history. Packaged in a delightful aluminium cover, Boursin is recognised as one of the best French cheeses, by me anyway. The Boursin Dairy was ... more

There is almost always Boursin in our fridge, mainly because just as I am addicted to Smoked Cheese, my other half is addicted to the Garlic variety of Boursin. Boursin is a French soft cheese with added herbs to make it more interesting. There are 4 varieties; full fat Garlic, full fat Pepper, and reduced fat versions of them both. The Garlic Boursin is delicious, but not for those who dislike garlic! It has a strong, but not too over powering, taste of garlic and the natural creaminess of soft cheese. The pepper Boursin is a little too over powering for me, very peppery, and you can’t taste ... more
