Oreo Mini chocolate sandwich cookies

Oreo is an iconic global brand that was originally introduced by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) in 1912 at its Chelsea factory in New York City. The brand was created as a competitor to the Hydrox cookie and quickly became the best-selling cookie in the United States, and eventually, the world.

Today, Oreo is manufactured in numerous countries across the globe to serve local markets including the United States, Mexico, Canada, China, and various European nations. While the brand remains synonymous with Nabisco in the U.S., it is owned by Mondelez International, a multinational confectionery giant that was spun off from Kraft Foods in 2012. Mondelez manages the brand's extensive global footprint from its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
