Boursin - Garlic and Fine Herbs - great taste our favorite spread with fine crackers. We have been served this in high end hotels several times and wanted to have some at home too. The only "watch out" is our order was almost out-of-date when we received it. We still enjoyed it, BUT...had to eat it fast. IF the out-of-date was reasonable this item would have received 5 stars!

This crumbly, white cheese is a delicious combo of feta-like texture, slight cream cheese tone. It is a sensory delighting garlic and herb experience that shouldn't be missed.

It comes in a pleasant, white box that looks slightly more like a garlic supplement than a package for cheese. As shown in the picture, it does come wrapped in a silver foil packet with ridges. Like a foil wrapped, crumbly cheese cupcake.

My "best before" date was Feb 19, 2010 but was literally gone in within less than a day. I had originally purchased it on a whim but both my 66 year-old mother and 7 year-old son fully support my decision to add Boursin's Garlic & Fine Herbs Gournay [not misspelled; it's their word] Cheese to our "must have" list.

The Boursin website has a feature that allows you to search for local vendors but, for some areas, it is no where near accurate. Unless you know where to buy it already, I would recommend purchasing this very palatable cheese online.

I received the product very promptly and packed in a little cooler but the expiration date was 9/30/08 and I had just ordered it 9/22/08. They need to watch that my husband wont eat anything out of date or even close to being out of date. That was the only complaint. Love the cheese!!!
