Nutella

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Nutella is the brand-name of a chocolate and hazelnut spread created in the 1940s by Ferrero (best known for their Ferrero Rocher sweets which are filled with Nutella). It is used for sandwiches among other things.

It is popular in Europe, less so in the United States. Nowadays, in Paris, Crêpes filled with Nutella spread are popular snacks available at food vendors on many street corners. As a reference to its popularity, Nutella's official website comments that, worldwide, the spread outsells all brands of peanut butter combined.

Gnutella, a piece of computer software, supposedly derives its name from Nutella.

East Germans ate Nudossi, a version of Nutella that is made by rival company.
