Popularity

Boursin has been a hit since its inception. From selling locally, the products are now being shipped to over 30 countries worldwide and that number is only increasing by the day. Hence the question arises, why is Boursin cheese so popular? What makes it so unique and appealing to consumers across boundaries?

Product

The original Boursin cheese was based on garlic & herbs. The inventor created a simple version of the original French cheese that could be used as an add-on, and he sold the concept of “fast-food” ages before the word was even coined! This coupled with the creamy texture that was firm and flowy at the same time, worked perfectly with youngsters and grandparents alike.

If a company sells a product in different flavors that perfectly go with different occasions throughout the year, it is hard to let go of any consumption. Better yet, one can even not forget the cheese due to its constant use.

The cheese comes in a variety of flavors like Garlic/Fine Herbs, Pepper, Fig/Walnut, Shallot/Chive, Red Chili Pepper, Cranberry/Spice, and Basil/Chive. This takes care of get-togethers like Christmas, home-parties, thanksgiving, etc.
