What nuts are used to make Nutella? ›

The hazelnut has always been the signature ingredient of Nutella^®. It was during the post-war period that the creator of Nutella^® had the brilliant idea to combine the delicious hazelnut, typical of the Italian region of Langhe, with cocoa, an ingredient that was hard to obtain at that time due to World War II.

Nutella is made from sugar, modified palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa powder, skimmed milk powder, whey powder, soy lecithin, and vanillin. The process of making this spread begins with the extraction of cocoa powder from the cocoa bean.

Each jar of Nutella^® contains 7 carefully selected, high-quality ingredients: sugar, milk, palm oil, cocoa, hazelnuts, lecithin and vanillin. Nutella^® is famous for its authentic hazelnut and cocoa taste, made even more irresistible by its unique creaminess.

For those who really can't eat any nuts, use seeds, like sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, or pumpkin seeds to make nut-free Nutella at home. Actually, bakers grind up sunflower seeds to replace almond flour in baking recipes, such as macarons if they want them to be nut-free!

Nutella^® should be stored at room temperature between 18-24 °C (between 64 and 75°F). Keep the container tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place to maintain maximum flavor. Do not refrigerate Nutella^®, otherwise it will harden and become difficult to spread.
