Nutella pasta

Nutella's chocolate paste has long won everyone's love and recognition. Children and adults enjoy a chocolate cream spread over a fresh loaf or bread for toast. Nutella pasta is used in homemade pastries (biscuit, muffins, cheesecake and truffle), in the manufacture of cakes and chocolate cakes. Sales of nutella chocolate paste around the world are breaking records for even the most popular and older brands. For example, peanut butter.

The name of the chocolate paste Nutella was given by the founder of the trademark and a successful businessman, the owner of the Ferrero trading house, Italian-born Pietro Ferero. In addition to the hit sales of Nutella pasta, Ferrer's company produces such equally well-known treats as Ferrero Roshen and Raffaello sweets, Tick-Tuck mint dragees, Mon Chéri series sweets, Kinder Surprise children's favorite treats and Kinder chocolate products. The story of the emergence of the famous product and composition of nutella is interesting.

Composition of Nutella

In the 40s of the last century, Pietra Ferrero got a small bakery in the town of Alba, which is located in the northern Italian province of Cuneo. Pietrou was always distinguished by his originality of views and was known for his creative nature. Mr. Ferrero's culinary and confectionery creative experiments resulted in the invention of a variety of confectionery. Interestingly, the formulation of Nutella's composition includes those products that confectionery manufacturers could afford in the difficult post-war years.

Due to the lack of raw materials, chocolate began to be produced not only on the basis of cocoa powder. Fererro became the first pastry chef to create chocolate paste from cocoa butter, fried hazelnuts and milk. The prototype of Nutella pasta was called Janduya and was a briquette of chocolate mass, which mothers cut into thin slices, placed on top of pieces of white bread, resulting in a tasty and nutritious treat that children were given for breakfast or as a dessert for dinner with milk.

Nutella's chocolate paste came from the occasion. Once the famous pastry chef received an order to make a large batch of janduya cakes. Ferrero and his wife and brother set to work. After working late into the night, the family went to bed, in the morning all three were in for a huge disappointment. Almost all the cakes were spoiled, the warm weather causing the chocolate to melt.

The optimist Pietri was not at a loss and smeared pieces of fresh pastries, bread and loaf with melted paste. Guests were fascinated by the new simple treat. Nutella's soft and well-smeared chocolate paste gained rapid popularity and became a favorite treat not only for Italians but for the whole world. To this day, Italy annually produces 179, 000 tons of Nutella chocolate paste.

Nutella pasta has become a symbol of Italy, World Nutella Day (February

5) has been established in the country, songs, books, poems and even films are written about the pasta. For example, director Nanni Moretti devoted several minutes to Nutella in the film "Bianca. " Nutella Chocolate Nut Paste is sold in 75 countries around the world. Each jar of Nutella chocolate paste (400 grams) contains 50 ground hazelnuts, half a glass of milk and cocoa.
