Oreo Double Stuf Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Oreo is an iconic global brand recognized as one of the best-selling cookies in the world. Originally introduced in 1912 by the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) in New York City, it was created as a competitor to the Hydrox cookie. Over more than a century, it has evolved from a single product into a massive portfolio including the 'Double Stuf' variety pictured, which features twice the normal amount of creme filling.

While the brand originated in the United States, manufacturing is decentralized to serve global markets effectively locally. In North America, production primarily occurs in various facilities across the United States and Mexico. Internationally, Oreo cookies are produced in numerous countries including China, India, Brazil, and Spain to meet regional demand and maintain freshness in diverse markets.

The brand has undergone several corporate ownership changes throughout its history, moving through the mergers that formed Nabisco and eventually being acquired by Kraft Foods. In 2012, Kraft Foods spun off its snack food division to create Mondelez International, which remains the ultimate owner of Oreo today. Mondelez is a major American multinational confectionery, food, and beverage conglomerate headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
