Philadelphia Smoked Salmon with Dill Cream Cheese

Philadelphia is one of the world's most iconic cream cheese brands, originally created in New York in 1872 and named after the city of Philadelphia, which was then renowned for its high-quality dairy production. Although the brand has American roots, its production is now decentralized to serve global markets effectively.

In Europe, Philadelphia is manufactured in various locations, including Germany and Italy, depending on the specific product line and consumer market. The brand's ownership is split geographically; outside of North America, it is owned and managed by Mondelēz International, a global leader in snacks and confectionery headquartered in the United States. Following the 2012 spin-off of Kraft Foods’ North American grocery business, Philadelphia became a key brand in Mondelēz's international portfolio.
