A Bit of Nutrella History...
Nutella has been around since the 1940s originating as a solid block known as "Pasta Gianduja". A creamy version was sold in 1951 by Pietro Ferrero, who owned a bakery in Alba, Italy. In 1963, Ferrero's son Michele Ferrero revamped Supercrema with the intention of marketing it across Europe. Its composition was modified and it was renamed "Nutella". The first jar of Nutella left the Ferrero factory in Alba on April 20, 1964. The product was an instant success and remains widely popular to this day.
So, Nutella fans of the world unite! Celebrate the
existence of this delicious chocolate spread by grabbing a spoon and
getting creative with hundreds of Nutella recipes. Start your Nutella
Day with a classic Nutella-on-pancakes breakfast and follow with a
shaken espresso with a dash of Nutella. On this day, add Nutella to your
cupcakes, ice cream, mousse, or even to savoury dishes. Your
imagination is the limit!
