Boursin Cheese- Garlic & Fine Herbs Review

Hello Sampling Bees! Who loves cheese? Raise your hands! I'm raising mine! Hehe! Today, I share with you Boursin Cheese!
 
 
 
Facts about Cheese:

  1. It’s traditional to offer one hard cheese, one blue cheese, one semi-hard cheese, one “stinky” cheese, one soft blooming rind, and one herbal cheese (Boursin® is the perfect choice).
  2. Cheese plates should be served at room temperature. This allows the complexity of each cheese’s flavor to open up.
  3. Three different cheeses make a cheese plate, but a selection of five is ideal. Anything more than six may cause palate fatigue!
  4. A well-rounded cheese plate features cheese and cheese carriers with a variety of textures. Consider serving rice crackers, pumpernickel or rye toasts, or kale chips with your traditional baguette.
 
 
 
I love this cheese!  It's smooth and creamy. Easy to dip or spread onto crackers. Tastes great with carrots, celery, even apple slices! Seasoned with the perfect amount of herbs and garlic. Can also be used in recipes! In an omelette, as a rub for a turkey, etc!
Made with pasteurized cultured milk and cream, buttermilk, salt, carob bean, xanthan and guar gums, garlic, spices, onion*, sorbic acid (to protect flavor). Contains milk. *Dried
