Local Flavors with a Global Perspective
If it’s one thing the French know, it’s cheese. The Bel Group, our parent company, engineered the single-serving portion over 150 years ago in France’s Jura region. Thus began a tradition of innovation and a commitment to growth, optimism, and enthusiasm that powers Bel Brands USA’s Chicago headquarters and all of our plants across North and South America.
