Kraft Fettine Classiche

Kraft Fettine Classiche are processed cheese slices that have been a staple in European households for decades. Originally created by the American entrepreneur James L. Kraft, the brand pioneered the processed cheese industry by patenting a method to sterilize cheese so it could be shipped long distances without spoiling. Today, while the Kraft name remains globally iconic, the brand is managed under different corporate structures depending on the region.

In Europe, the Kraft brand for cheese products is currently managed by Mondelez International or licensed to specific entities following the 2012 split of Kraft Foods Inc. Manufacturing for the European market often takes place in large-scale dairy facilities in Germany and Spain, ensuring consistent quality for the 'Fettine' range, which is specifically popular in Italy for sandwiches and melting. The ultimate owner of the brand's global identity is the Kraft Heinz Company, though various international licensing agreements exist for specific product categories like dairy.
