Babybel Plant-Based (Végétal)

Babybel is a globally recognized snack brand, famous for its small round cheeses encased in iconic red wax. Originating in France in 1977 as 'Mini Babybel', it was created by the Bel Group, a family-owned French company with a history dating back to 1865. The brand expanded into the vegan market recently with its plant-based version, identified by its green wax, catering to the growing demand for dairy-free alternatives throughout Europe and North America.

The product is primarily manufactured in France, historical heartland of the brand, though the Bel Group operates production facilities globally to serve local markets. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Fromageries Bel (Bel Group), headquartered in Suresnes, France. The group is a major player in the global cheese industry, owning other famous brands like The Laughing Cow and Kiri.
