Babybel Original Cheese

Babybel is an iconic snack cheese brand famous for its distinctive red wax coating. The brand was originally created by the Bel Group (Fromageries Bel) in France in 1952, inspired by traditional Edam cheese but produced in a unique mini format. Today, Babybel has grown into a global household name, available in various flavors and plant-based versions while maintaining its heritage of playful packaging.

While the brand is French in origin, this specific product is manufactured in Canada by Fromageries Bel Canada Inc. to serve the North American market using local ingredients. The ultimate ownership remains with the Bel Group, a multinational cheese corporation headquartered in Suresnes, France. The group is controlled by Unibel, the investment holding company of the Bel family, ensuring the brand remains under the stewardship of its founding lineage.
