While it's fairly common to see the flavor of cheese enhanced with spicy peppers, this spicy cheese dip from Boursin also includes another unusual ingredient—cranberries.
This dip is like a spreadable version of the brand's Boursin Gournay cheese, and is also available in a range of classic flavors like Asiago & Roasted Red Pepper, Monterey Jack & Spicy Pepper, and Spinach & Artichoke—but the Cranberry Jalapeno flavor has to be the most interesting of the group.
The spicy-sweet flavor of this dip likely lends itself well to both sweet and savory bases. Unique pairings like berries and peppers are growing to be sought out by consumers, especially those who enjoy discovering layers of complex flavors.
