Boursin is a creamy herb cheese spread that's a blend of garlic, parsley and chives folded into Gournay cheese. Boursin cheese was created by a young French cheesemaker named François Boursin. He worked for two years on his recipe inspired by fromage frais, a traditional French cheese dish that blends garlic, fresh cream, soft cheese and herbs. In 1963, François introduced his mouth-watering cheese to the world and it's since become famous. And for good reason – it's divinely delicious! When you add the slightly sweet and spicy kick of red pepper jelly, then top it with crunchy walnuts, you get a cheese dip that's downright addictive.
