The new Boursin Plant-Based cheese has been launched by the Bel Group as an improved version of the brand's signature dairy-free soft cheese. The product comes in a Garlic & Herbs flavor that's suited for a variety of applications including being spread on crackers or bread or even added into your choice of cooking recipe. The product has an improved taste and texture to more closely mimic the brand's dairy alternative, and also comes in the same style of packaging rather than the previous plastic tub.
Senior Brand Manager Anna Petsi commented on the Boursin Plant-Based cheese saying, "We’ve worked to ensure the flavour, texture, and packaging of new Boursin Plant-Based aligns with all the key purchase drivers that our shoppers expect from dairy Boursin. Consumers tell us they really love the taste and texture.”
