Mark your calendars for February 5th, 2025, as the world unites to celebrate the most divine spread on the planet – Nutella!

But, have you ever wondered how this chocolatey-hazelnut masterpiece came to be? Let's take a trip down memory lane!

The story begins in the 1960s, when Pietro Ferrero, an Italian pastry maker, created a hazelnut-chocolate paste called Gianduja. Named after a beloved Italian carnival character, Gianduja was an instant hit in Italy. Fast-forward to the 1980s, when Ferrero's son, Michele, reformulated the recipe, adding more cocoa and sugar to create the Nutella we know and love today.
