Nutella

Nutella is a delicious hazelnut and cocoa cream, known worldwide for its smooth and sweet flavor. It is a spread that combines roasted hazelnuts, cocoa, sugar, and vegetable oil, creating a creamy texture ideal for spreading on bread, toast, crepes, or for use as an ingredient in desserts and pastries.

Origin: Nutella was created in Italy in the 1940s by the Ferrero company. Its invention is attributed to Pietro Ferrero, who developed a hazelnut-based paste to make the most of scarce cocoa after World War II. Since then, Nutella has become an iconic product and a favorite in kitchens all over the world.

Properties: Nutella is rich in fats, primarily from hazelnuts and the oils used in its production, in addition to containing sugar and cocoa, providing a quick source of energy. Although it is not a low-calorie food, its hazelnut content provides some dietary fiber, B and E vitamins, as well as minerals such as magnesium and iron. It is ideal for enhancing sweet flavors in recipes and achieving creamy textures.
