Philadelphia Cream Cheese with Herbs

Philadelphia is one of the world's most recognized cream cheese brands. Despite its name, the brand was actually created in New York in 1872 by William Lawrence and later marketed under the 'Philadelphia' name to associate it with the high-quality dairy farming reputation that region held at the time.

Today, the brand is owned by Mondelez International for most international markets, including Europe and Denmark, while Kraft Heinz retains ownership in North America. The product found in Northern Europe is typically manufactured at state-of-the-art dairy facilities in Germany, ensuring consistency across the region. The brand has evolved from a simple spread to a culinary staple used in both sweet and savory recipes globally.
