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.

Dietary Fat
Two tablespoons of Nutella have 11 grams of total fat, including 4 grams of saturated fat. With a 20% daily value, the amount of saturated fat in one serving is considered high.
Saturated Fat

The 4 grams of saturated fat in one serving delivers approximately 35 calories, which is a 20% daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
Saturated Fat is found in animal fats, baked goods, pizza, and vegetable shortening, among other food items. The FDA recommends choosing foods lower in saturated fat.
