Philadelphia lactose-free cream cheese

Philadelphia is a globally recognized brand of cream cheese. Although its name refers to the American city, the brand was actually established in New York by William Lawrence in 1872. Today, it is one of the most iconic dairy brands in the world, specialized in spreadable cheese products including lactose-free variants for high digestibility.

Currently, the brand is owned by Mondelez International for markets outside North America, while Kraft Heinz maintains ownership within the United States and Canada. Production is decentralized across multiple countries to serve local markets; for the European market, it is frequently manufactured in Germany or Spain. The brand continues to lead the cream cheese category through its parent company, Mondelez International, which is headquartered in Chicago, USA.
