In 2011, two bloggers declared February 5th to be World Nutella Day.
Typically, holidays are official proclamations by a city, state, or the federal government (here’s how it works). But in the wild frontier of the Internet, World Nutella Day became a viral hit. Nutella hazelnut spread, in its earliest form, was created in the 1940s by Pietro Ferrero, who began as a pastry maker with a small shop in Dogliani, a town in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. At the time, there was very little chocolate; cocoa beans were in short supply due to World War II (1939-1945) rationing. To stretch his chocolate supply, Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts, which are plentiful in Piedmont. The spread is a combination of roasted hazelnuts, sugar, skim milk and a touch of cocoa. It is an all-natural product with no artificial colors or preservatives. The original product was called Giandujot, after the Italian term gianduja (john-DOO-ya), referring to a filling for chocolates made of ganache mixed with hazelnuts. Made by the Ferrero Company of Italy, the original product was called Giandujot (john-DOO-yote), after the Italian term gianduja (john-DOO-ya). Gianduja is a filling for chocolate bonbons made of chocolate and cream, a.k.a. ganache, mixed with hazelnuts. Giandujot was later developed into the spread we now know as Nutella®. The Ferrero Company officially introduced Nutella to the market in 1964. Nutella became so popular that it engendered similar products. They can’t be called Nutella, of course; but the recipe below was used with Bonne Maman’s Hazelnut Chocolate Spread. Giandujot was later developed into the spread we now know as Nutella. The Ferrero company officially introduced Nutella to the market in 1964. Nutella was first imported to the U.S. more than 25 years ago by Ferrero U.S.A., Inc. Its popularity has grown steadily. So enjoy a Nutella sandwich, put Nutella on a pancake or waffle, roll it in a crêpe, and eat it from the jar with a spoon. Add it to your favorite cookie, cake, or brownie recipe. Fill “jelly” donuts with Nutella. Make a Nutella milkshake. Add it to coffee or hot chocolate. Make this Nutella Mousse recipe. Or, try these less conventional approaches to Nutella recipes: |
