Boursin

Boursin is a brand of soft creamy cheese available in various flavours, with a flavour and texture similar to cream cheese. The first Boursin flavour, garlic and fine herbs, was created in 1957 by François Boursin, a cheese maker from Normandy. Boursin's product was derived from a traditional party dish, fromage frais ; guests would take their cheese and add herbs for flavour. His recipe was the first flavoured cheese product to be sold nationally in France.[citation needed] Boursin cheese was first developed in Normandy, and at one time was produced exclusively in Croisy-sur-Eure, France, by the Boursin company. In 1990, the Boursin name was acquired by Unilever, who sold it to Groupe Bel in November 2007 for €400 million.
