FAQs

How do you make Nutella spreadable? ›

You can quickly melt Nutella by scooping it into a bowl and microwaving it gently. Or if you'd like to melt a larger amount, simply put the jar of Nutella into a bowl of hot water. If you only need a little Nutella for spreading, heat a metal knife or spoon then use it to scrape up the softened Nutella.

Nutella is made from sugar, modified palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa powder, skimmed milk powder, whey powder, soy lecithin, and vanillin. The process of making this spread begins with the extraction of cocoa powder from the cocoa bean.

Each jar of Nutella^® contains 7 carefully selected, high-quality ingredients: sugar, milk, palm oil, cocoa, hazelnuts, lecithin and vanillin. Nutella^® is famous for its authentic hazelnut and cocoa taste, made even more irresistible by its unique creaminess.

Do I store Nutella in the fridge? No, we don't recommend storing your homemade Nutella in the fridge because it hardens up and then isn't spreadable unless you let it soften on the counter for a long time or warm it gently in the microwave first.

Also, be sure to remove some of the skins from the hazelnuts after they've roasted. You don't have to remove all of the skins, just as much as you can. This will help the homemade Nutella become creamy and not too grainy.

The 'Giandujot' paste was transformed into a creamy new product that was easier to spread. It was known as SuperCrema. The recipe was improved, leading to the creation of the first-ever jar of hazelnut and cocoa cream. Nutella^® was officially born.

The hazelnut has always been the signature ingredient of Nutella^®. It was during the post-war period that the creator of Nutella^® had the brilliant idea to combine the delicious hazelnut, typical of the Italian region of Langhe, with cocoa, an ingredient that was hard to obtain at that time due to World War II.

The hazelnuts used in Nutella^® come from hazelnut orchards, which are mainly found in Mediterranean type climates. Our hazelnuts come from different parts of the world, our main origins are Turkey, Italy, Chile and the USA.

Is Nutella just hazelnut butter? ›

Nutella is usually described as a hazelnut chocolate spread. But, in reality, it comprises of just 13% hazelnuts, the rest being refined white sugar, palm oil, milk powder, and cacao powder. Nutella is not a nut butter.

It's mostly sugar and oil. There's just enough lecithin to hold that suspension under normal circ*mstances. However, shipments get hot or are subjected to alternating heat and cold, boxes are dropped or slammed around, and other environment factors can loosen the emulsion before you pick it up at the store.

A two-tablespoon serving contains 200 calories, 21 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of fat. It also has small amounts of protein, iron, and calcium. This is not much nutrition and many of the ingredients are bad for your health. Nutella tastes sweet because it contains a large amount of sugar.

While Nutella is advertised as a hazelnut spread, sugar is listed first on the ingredient label. This is because sugar is its primary ingredient, comprising 57% of its weight.
