Philadelphia Protein Low Fat Soft Cream Cheese

Philadelphia is one of the world's most recognized cream cheese brands, originally founded in New York in 1872 by William Lawrence. Despite its name, the Philadelphia brand originated in New York state; it was named after the city of Philadelphia because, at the time, the city was renowned for high-quality dairy production.

The global ownership of Philadelphia is complex due to historical corporate splits. In the United Kingdom and Europe, the brand is owned and distributed by Mondelez International. In North America, the brand remains under the ownership of Kraft Heinz. Because this specific product is listed in GBP and associated with UK retailers like Tesco, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mondelez International.

Manufacturing for Philadelphia products sold in the UK and Europe typically takes place in various European facilities, most notably in Germany (Fallingbostel). The brand continues to be a market leader in the soft cheese category, expanding its range to include high-protein and low-fat variations to cater to health-conscious consumers.
