Philadelphia Cream Cheese Original

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is a renowned brand of cream cheese that originated in the United States in 1872. Despite its name, it was not created in Philadelphia but in Chester, New York, by William Lawrence, a dairyman who accidentally developed a richer, more spreadable cheese by adding excessive cream to Neufchâtel. The brand name 'Philadelphia' was adopted in 1880 to capitalize on the city's reputation for high-quality dairy products. Over the years, Philadelphia Cream Cheese has become a staple in households and eateries worldwide, known for its creamy texture and versatility. The brand is currently owned by Kraft Heinz, a leading multinational food company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Kraft Heinz was formed in 2015 through the merger of Kraft Foods and Heinz and is one of the largest food and beverage companies globally, offering a wide range of products across various categories. Philadelphia Cream Cheese is produced in multiple countries to meet global demand, ensuring consistent quality and availability.
