The Nutella®
hazelnut
The hazelnut has always been the signature ingredient of Nutella®. It was during the post-war period that Nutella®’s creator 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.
