La Vache Qui Rit®: Cheese with a smile!
La Vache Qui Rit® is one of the world's best loved cheese brands. And it's easy to see why.It is convenient and fun, with
a superbly smooth, creamy taste. The cheese is also a natural source of calcium, which is good news for teeth and bones.
Totally new to France when first launched in 1921, La Vache Qui Rit® introduced a whole new way of eating cheese, thanks to
an original recipe combining a unique flavour and a creamy, melting texture.
Originating in France, La Vache Qui Rit® is a truly international cheese, eaten in more than 90 countries on five continents,
from North Africa to the USA, from England to Japan, from Africa to Australia. More than ten million portions are consumed
each day across the world – around 2,500 portions every 20 seconds!
Reflecting different languages and cultures, La Vache Qui Rit® has a different name in each country: The Laughing Cow®
in United-States and UK, La vaca que rié® in Spain, A vaca que ri® in Portugal, Con bo cuoi® in Vietnam etc...
And today, she still has plenty of surprises in store, especially on the Internet : the French website
www.pourquoilavachequiritrit.com is run by a community of fans who are forever asking why La Vache Qui Rit® actually laughs.

Boursin®: A family story
In 1957, Francois Boursin in the footsteps of his father, built a modern cheese factory in Normandy where cheeses are fresh
made in the purest tradition. The famous "Boursin with garlic & herb" appeared in 1963, on market stalls & creameries in Paris.
Boursin, a unique cheese
"Do you know that the recipe of the unique Boursin Garlic & Fines Herbes was created in Normandy more than 40 years ago.
At that time the tradition was to add to the cheese garlic, parsley and chives to raise the taste. Without any additives, this recipe
is the subtle marriage of noble ingredients: milk, cream, garlic, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Discover the rich flavors of the
Boursin's family: ingredients carefully selected, mixed with cold fresh cheese that retain their natural taste."
