Philadelphia Salmon cream cheese

Philadelphia is a globally recognized brand of cream cheese, originally created in 1872 by William Lawrence in New York. The brand was named 'Philadelphia' because the city was then known for high-quality dairy products. Today, it is one of the most popular cream cheese brands worldwide, often used as a generic term for the category in markets like Italy.

In Europe, including Italy, the Philadelphia brand is managed and owned by Mondelēz International. Manufacturing for the European market is heavily concentrated in Germany, particularly at the large production facility in Bad Fallingbostel. However, global production is distributed across multiple continents, including North America (managed by Kraft Heinz) and Australia (by Mondelēz).
