Nutella is a sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread made by Ferrero, an Italian company that's the third-largest chocolate producer in the world. It was originally created in Italy during World War II when baker Pietro Ferrero added ground hazelnuts to a chocolate spread to make up for a shortage of cocoa in the country.

Sugar, palm oil, Hazelnuts (13%), Skimmed milk powder (8.7%), Fat-reduced cocoa (7.4%), Emulsifier: lecithin (soya), vanillin.

According to Delish, the iconic Nutella jar known as the "Pelikan" was inspired by the container's likeness to an old-fashioned inkwell. Unlike taller, narrower jars and cans, this wide-mouth shape allows you to easily scrape out every nook and cranny of the container - without trapping your hand inside.

Iconic Packaging: Nutella in a Glass Jar This may be one of the reasons why neither the recipe nor the packaging of this internationally popular chocolate and hazelnut spread called Nutella has not changed at all since 1964. The sweet spread so well-loved today dates back to the late 40s.

Nutella, the original hazelnut spread, is a combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk, and cocoa with a creamy consistency and a chocolate taste with a hint of roasted nut flavor. Nutella is to Italians what peanut butter is to Americans.

HOW TO STORE NUTELLA ®

1. Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and other heat sources, at a temperature between 18° and 20°C.
2. If any oil appears on the product surface please mix in until it is completely reabsorbed.
3. Always use clean and dry utensils.
4. Store the jar in an upright position.

And there are a lot of them: though Nutella's homebase is the Ferraro factory in Northern Italy, ingredients are sourced from such disparate countries as Turkey, Brazil, Malaysia, France and Nigeria, and factories in Russia, North America, South America and European countries outside of Italy manufacture Nutella, too.

MARKET ANALYSIS The target market of Nutella is children ages 6-14 and their parents, demographically speaking. Nutella targets larger families with young children. The main distribution channel is through airways because Ferrero Rocher's headquarters is located in Italy.

During an appearance on This Morning last year, Debora explained: “The sugar in this is really good, it's an exfoliator. “The essential fatty acids in this are really good. “Afterward, in the next seven or eight days the skin becomes sheeny and moist.”

Piedmont in Italy Ferrero, originally from Piedmont in Italy, turned this tricky problem into a smart solution by creating a sweet paste made from hazelnuts, sugar and just a little of the rare cocoa. The precursor to Nutella® was born!
