World Nutella Day History

Nutella was delivered to the world by the Fererro family under its present name during the 1960s, but its roots go back to the early 1800s. The inspiration for making the chocolaty spread dates back to the 1800s when cocoa was in short supply in Italy's Piedmont area and so, the cooks added ground hazelnuts to extend the supply. The spread was initially called 'Gianduja'.It was in 1951 that Ferrero was inspired by it and made the paste into a spreadable form. Ferrero’s son Michele named the spread 'Nutella.'
