Philadelphia Balance Cream Cheese

Philadelphia is a world-renowned cream cheese brand that originated in New York, USA, in 1872. Despite its name, it was not created in Philadelphia; the name was chosen as a marketing strategy due to the city's reputation for high-quality dairy at the time. The brand was popularized by its original producer, the Empire Cheese Company, before being acquired by Phenix Cheese Company, which later merged with Kraft.

Today, the brand's ownership is split globally. In North America (USA and Canada), Philadelphia is owned by Kraft Heinz. However, for Europe and most of the rest of the world, the brand is owned by Mondelēz International, following the 2012 spin-off of Kraft Foods' snack division. The specific product in the image is produced in Germany, specifically at the Mondelēz facility in Bad Fallingbostel, which is one of the largest cream cheese production sites in the world. It serves the European market using local ingredients, maintaining the brand's long-standing tradition of creamy texture and high quality.
