Read this detailed guide for a complete overview of the calories, nutrition facts, and ingredients in Nutella hazelnut spread.
Quick History of Nutella
Originally called Giandujot, the hazelnut and cocoa paste was developed in 1946.
A few years later, the recipe was altered to transform Giandujot paste into a creamier and easier to spread topping.
In 1964, Ferrero improved the recipe once again and the official Nutella was born.
For best results, store nutella in a cool, dry location. Do not refrigerate or microwave the chocolate-hazelnut spread.
