Nutella

A Slice of Bread Transformed by Nutella

Nutella (pronounced "new-tell-uh") is a sweet spread made with hazelnut, chocolate, and skim milk. Its maker also makes the famous Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

It's used most commonly as a spread on crepes or bread. It's also sold in little packets that come with tiny spatulas, common snacks among school children in Europe or some parts of Asia. Nutella is the most popular spread on the European table, and has more than 4 million Facebook fans.

World Nutella Day is February 5.

Nutella is no longer the only hazelnut spread on the market. Jif is now making chocolate-flavored hazelnut spread and Jif mocha cappuccino-flavored hazelnut spread. This is available in stores nationwide.
