local coffee preferences. In the fast-growing area of refreshment
beverages, Kraft is leading the way with powerhouse global brands

is the perfect example. While people all over the world use cream
cheese differently, the cream cheese they like best is Philadelphia.

and Cubes, to Dairylea and El Caserío process cheese, Kraft
