Nutella is the brand-name of a chocolate and hazelnut spread created in the 1940s by the Italian company, Ferrero.
Nutella is used as a spread on sandwiches and on other food items. In addition to be being a sandwich spread, it can be used as a flavoring ingredient in baking. Mixing it with whipped cream creates a filling for cakes and pastries. In many European cities like Paris, crêpes filled with Nutella spread and sliced fruit, often either bananas or strawberries, are popular snacks available from food vendors on many street corners.
Nutella is the most readily available form of gianduja, which is a blend of chocolate and hazelnut paste developed in Italy after excessive taxes on cocoa beans hindered the early development and production of conventional chocolate.
