What is Nutella?
Nutella is a creamy spread made from cocoa and hazelnuts, often used as a topping for breads, pastries, or in various desserts. It originated in Italy and is manufactured by Ferrero. The spread is known for its rich, sweet flavor and smooth texture, achieved through a blend of sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa solids, and skimmed milk powder.
