Easy way to make a meal creamy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this cheese in a shrimp and pasta dish and it made it super creamy. The shallot and chive flavor was really nice not too strong and delicious the whole family loved it. I would’ve loved if it was lower in calorie but i used this meal as a cheat day

Creamy, versatile and sooo yummy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has quickly became one on my favorite cheeses. It’s rich, creamy, and packed with delicious shallot and chive flavor. I love it on crackers, toast, even stirred into pasta for an easy creamy sauce. All it takes is about 15 mins sitting out and it’s amazing.

So delicious and creamy that I had to buy a second one because the first was gone so quickly!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed the Boursin Shallot & Chive Cheese, the texture is incredibly creamy and smooth, making it easy to spread on crackers, bread or even use in recipes. The flavor is rich and well balanced, with the shallot and chive adding a delicious savory taste without being overpowering. It also smells fresh and appealing appearance. The packaging was very clean and well sealed, which made the product feel fresh and high quality. One thing I loved the most is how versatile it is, I used it as snack, with appetizers, and even as a spread for sandwiches. It was so good that I actually had to buy two. I would definitely purchase it again!

Great afternoon for snacks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really digging this Boursin cheese for a quick and easy afternoon snack. It's so soft and has a strong flavor, which is awesome because I can totally spread it on bread, or even pair it with some carrot chips or crackers!

Creamy, mild, and great on steak but richer than I
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Boursin Shallot & Chive on a grilled top sirloin steak and it worked really well. I cooked my steak on an indoor grill, then wrapped it in tinfoil and slathered a generous scoop of the cheese on top while it rested for a few mins. The Bourisn softened and got creamy but didn’t completely melt or run off, which actually made it feel more like a flavored cream cheese than a traditional butter. The texture out of the package looked a little clumpy and I was worried it would crumble or fall apart when I scooped it, but it stayed fairly intact and was easy to spread over the hot steak. The flavor is on the milder side… you get a nice oniony shallot and chive taste without it being overpowering, and it paired really nicely with my steak, roasted mini potatoes, pan-roasted carrots, and stir fried veggies. It added a rich, savory finish without taking over the whole plate. After eating, I checked the nutrition label and was a bit surprised at how rich it is: 120 calories and 12 g if fat per 2 tablespoon serving, with 7-8g of that as sat fat, plus 2g of protein and just about 1g of carbs. It’s basically a high fat, low carb dairy treat, so for me it’s something I’d use as an occasional topping or party cheese rather than an everyday spread. Overall I really enjoyed the taste and creaminess and loved it as a steak topper, but I’d be mindful of portion size because it’s easy to eat more than you realize.

Not my favorite flavor, but still a quality spread
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ll be honest, this wasn’t a flavor I personally loved, but I can still appreciate the quality. The texture is super creamy and easy to spread, and Boursin always delivers a nice, rich cheese spread. The shallot and chive flavor just wasn’t really for me, but I can definitely see how others who enjoy savory, herby flavors would really like it. Overall, it’s a good product, just not one I’d personally reach for again. If you enjoy bold, savory cheese spreads, this may be a great fit for you.

super creamy and flavorful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's really creamy and had a big herb flavor right out of the container. I mixed it with tomatoes, chicken, olive oil, and seasoning and baked it. After it was done, the flavor was kind of lost with only using one box. Next time I'm going to get two and see how much of a difference it makes. Once it was done I added it to pasta and it was delicious!

Boursin Shallot & Chive cheese is a creamy, aromat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Boursin Shallot & Chive cheese is a creamy, spreadable cheese with a pale, luscious color and vibrant flecks of green chives throughout. The aroma is fresh and savory, with sweet notes from shallots and chives. Perfect for spreading on crackers, adding to sandwiches, etc. Each portion is conveniently packaged, making serving easy and keeping the cheese fresh for every occasion.

Elevate your brunch!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The creamy savory spread paired perfectly with our Easter leftovers. It spread smoothly on toasted sourdough, adding a delicious gourmet touch without over powering anything. The herbs and shallot notes melded so well with the Mediterranean style leftovers that it felt like an intentional flavor combination. I recommend to anyone looking for an elevated everyday spread. Will definitely buy again!

Amazing taste
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great packaging, initially I thought its very small but when I used it on my salad, I was able to eat only small portion of this pack. I used as spread over cucumbers along with soup. Great shelf life and amazing taste.

Delicious
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the healthier way to put "cream cheese" on your bread. Very tasty, not overwhelming flavor. In Europe we have think made from cow milk called farmers cheese. In USA it may meant different things unfortunately. But if you are from Europe this taste like Gerwais or similar flavored farmers cheese. It's delicious and healthy

Such an easy way to flavor food
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time trying this flavor and I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed with how well it tasted and how easy it was to add to my pasta so make a fantastic dish. Packaged for easy use. Spreads so smoothly. As a dip or in a pasta, the cheese spread has a great even consistency and no grittiness. Smells like flavored cream cheese.

Tasty cheese
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Boursin shallot and chive cheese is a delicious snack that smells and tastes amazing. The garlic and chive provides cheese with more deep flavor palette making it a more unique flavor to pair on sandwiches, with crackers or enjoy vegetables. The texture is super smooth and creamy. The packaging is great as it allows you to easily close and store the product.

Delicious
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Boursin Shallot & Chive cheese is ridiculously good for how simple it is. Ultra-creamy, spreadable, and packed with a mellow garlicky-onion flavor that doesn’t overpower. The shallots bring a gentle sweetness, while the chives add a fresh, bright lift that makes it taste vibrant rather than heavy. It also feels incredibly fresh overall, like it was just whipped together with real herbs. What really stands out is how versatile it is—you can spread it on crackers, melt it into pasta, dollop it onto steak or chicken, or even use it to elevate a sandwich. It feels fancy but is dangerously easy to demolish in one sitting.
