Boursin update

The other day I inquired about Boursin, as I usually buy the Philadelphia garlic and herb cream cheese but target doesn’t sell that. After the overwhelming positive feedback on Boursin, I have indeed tried it. A few things:

I tasted it alone and on a bagel. The flavor is great, very potent as everyone said.

I’m not really of fan of the grainy texture but it’s not terrible.

Not ideal for a bagel by itself(at least in my opinion). Due to its potency you can’t really spread enough on, therefore leaving you with a dry bagel.

I did however mix it with plain Philadelphia cream cheese and tried that on a bagel. Well I’m here to tell you that it’s exactly as good as it sounds. This is the ideal way to enjoy it on a bagel. You get the creamier texture while still having the Boursin flavor. It’s a great combination.

Thanks for all of your feedback! I will have to try the other flavors soon. Has anyone tried the caramelized onion flavor? If so, how does it compare to the others ? (Garlic herb/shallot chives)
