    4 Stars Rancid, sweaty sin. I just love it. 04/12/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Delicious, Creamy and unusual taste, fairly cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rancid smell, unpleasant colour, Woah! those calories

    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

    5 Stars Boursin Cheese- Tres Frais! 02/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Creamy distinctive garlic taste. It's gorgeous!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price and calories. + my blooming family scoff it before I get to it sometimes!

    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

    5 Stars Boursin Soft Cheese - Yes Please ! Review with images 10/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Versatile, tastes delicious

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price, high in fat (except Light variety), moreish !

    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. (".) What is Boursin ? (".) Boursin is a soft cheese like no other; I can't stand Philadelphia for example but this is something different. 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

    Advantages Advantages read review

    Disadvantages Disadvantages read review

    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

    5 Stars More interesting than Cheddar! Review with images 29/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Taste, texture, option of lower fat, easy to spread

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Packaging could be clearer.

    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

    5 Stars A Fresh and Light Soft Cheese from France 02/02/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Creamy Rich,sweet flavour Nice table cheese

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very Few

    Boursin soft cheese really is one of the great French cheeses.It is best described as a modern,creamery,fresh cheese of cylindrical shape and it comes without a rind. It was initially introduced in 1957 in the Normandy region by one Monsier Boursin,hence its name. This delicate soft cheese has a distinctive fresh and light taste with a rich,sweet,flavour and there is a rather subtle hint of acidity about it. It is normally flavoured with the likes of garlic,herbs and pepper. It is used as a table cheese for spreading and bakery and features in a lot of recipes. For breakfast you could try it ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Spreads straight from the fridge

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little too expensive

    ***INTRO*** I'd been looking out for a cheese to complete my TESCO red wine for sometime, I noticed boursin (Ail & fine Herbes) on the shelves of my TESCO metro. At £1.96 for 150g it was reasonably priced. It came in a white card box about 2 x 2 x 1 inches. ***INGREDIENTS*** Full fat soft cheese with garlic and fine herbs: pasteurised milk and cream, salt, garlic and fine herbs pepper. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION: per 100g protein 7g, fat 41g. ***THE TASTE EXPERIENCE*** Open the card box and unwrap the silver and white covered round cheese. Immediately the aroma of garlic and herbs greets the nose ... more
