Philadelphia Garlic and Fine Herbs cream cheese

Philadelphia is one of the world's most recognized cream cheese brands. Despite its name, the brand was actually founded in New York in 1872 by William Lawrence. The name 'Philadelphia' was chosen because, at the time, the region was renowned for its high-quality dairy farming.

Today, the brand is owned by Mondelez International for most global markets (including Europe), while Kraft Heinz retains the rights in North America. For the European market, particularly in countries like the Netherlands where this packaging is found, the product is primarily manufactured in Germany and distributed by local Mondelez subsidiaries. The brand continues to dominate the soft cheese market with a wide variety of flavors and fat-content options.
