Nutella is a delicious chocolate hazelnut spread that people love!   

Nutella was created back in 1806, when Napoleon tried to freeze out British commerce as a means to win the Napoleonic wars (and take over the world). The result was a disastrous and caused the cost of chocolate to skyrocket and left Piedmontese chocolatiers  in the lurch. Ever resourceful, chocolatiers in Turin started adding chopped hazelnuts to chocolate to stretch the supply as much as Possible . The ensuing deliciousness was a fateful paste dubbed “gianduia.”

Over a century later, chocolate again became expensive and scarce due to rationing in Europe during World War II. An Italian pastry maker named Pietro Ferrero once again turned to the mighty hazelnut for salvation in 1946 and created Pasta Gianduja, renamed “Nutella” in 1964.

Nutella

This chocolatey dream, aka Nutella is a hazelnut chocolate spread loved by many Americans. Nutella, in its earliest form, was created in the 1940s by Mr. Pietro Ferrero, a pastry maker and the creator of the Ferrero company. At the time, there was very little chocolate because there was not much cocoa during World War II. So Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts, which there was a lot of in the Piedmont region of Italy, to extend the amount of chocolate. Nutella was first imported from Italy to U.S. The main purpose of the spread is for putting on bread, though people have come up with quite a few other ways to use it.
