Pepperidge Farm Milano Double Dark Chocolate cookies

Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies are a well-known snack originating from the United States. The brand was founded in 1937 by Margaret Rudkin, a home baker who originally started the business to produce allergy-friendly bread for her son. The Milano cookie itself was inspired by European biscuit designs and launched in the 1950s as a sandwich-style cookie with various chocolate fillings.

Today, the brand is a major subsidiary of the Campbell Soup Company, which acquired Pepperidge Farm in 1961. Manufacturing is primarily handled within dedicated facilities in the United States, maintaining a high standard for quality that has kept the brand a staple in American pantries for decades. The company continues to operate under the Campbell’s umbrella as part of their snacks division.
