Light boursin cheese

Boursin is a creamy spreadable cheese flavored with herbs and spices. It was invented by Francois Boursin in 1957. Although it was originally only available in France, it’s now made elsewhere in the world too and can be bought in over 30 countries. France is still where Boursin cheese is most popular worldwide, however. You might have noticed that the packaging says it is an “all natural Gournay cheese.” So what does that mean? The original maker Francois Boursin was from a small town named Gournay in Normandy. When asked what the name of his cheese was by a customs official, he named it after his hometown. So while there are plenty of Boursin cheese imitations on the market, the real deal will always say it is all natural Gournay cheese. Although it’s sometimes mistaken for goat’s milk due to the color, shape, and texture, Boursin is a cow's milk cheese. The original one buttery and sweet, but you can now buy it in several different flavors, most of which are savory. Technically, Boursin is a type of cream cheese. However, only Boursin can be labelled as an “All natural Gournay cheese.” You’ll also notice that it has a slightly crumbly texture, unlike most other cream cheeses. Even though it is a little crumbly, it’s still soft and easily spreadable.
