Today, chefs need products that are versatile, help reduce labor and offer big flavor impact. They need ingredients that work hard, helping them create trend-forward menus their customers will love. Boursin® Gournay Cheese easily moves into different modern menu builds, adding intense herbaceous flavor and its iconic creamy-crumbly texture.

Boursin® Cheese hails from Normandy, France, carrying a storied tradition of quality while promising modern menu solutions. It’s a fresh cheese with aromatic garlic, fragrant parsley and mild chives, offering a punch of flavor and a myriad of menu possibilities:

Spread on a sandwich, artisan toast or flatbread
Melt into an omelette or over steak
Swirl into a pasta dish
Crumble over a salad or bowl build
