Nutella®: a story of love and passion
Do you know the history of Nutella®‘s signature recipe and unmistakable taste?
Positivity as a main ingredient
After World War II, cocoa was extremely scarce. Ferrero, originally from Piedmont in Italy, turned this tricky problem into a smart solution, creating a sweet paste made from hazelnuts, sugar and just a little of the rare cocoa. The ancestor of Nutella® was born.
The Giandujot
The sweet paste of the first recipe was shaped into a loaf that could be sliced and spread on bread, named after a local carnival character.
SuperCrema
The 'Giandujot' paste was transformed into a creamy new product that was easier to spread named SuperCrema.
Nutella® is born
The recipe was improved and the first-ever jar of a new hazelnut and cocoa cream was created, a name that today is synonymous with the spread & smile: Nutella®.
The iconic jar
With its iconic design, Nutella® was launched in Germany.
Oh la la!
Nutella® arrived in France with great success.
Success has no borders
Nutella® reached Australia opening its first plant outside Europe in Lithgow, near Sydney.
30 years of optimism in France
"Generation Nutella®" was held, an event in Paris displaying works of art made by artists who grew up with Nutella® featuring big names in art like Decouflé, Paco Rabanne and Wolinski.
The Guinness Book of Records
On May 29th, 27.854 people in Gelserkirchen, Germany participated in the "Largest Continental Breakfast Ever" with Nutella®.
World Nutella® Day
