The Nutella Conspiracy

Nutella is surprisingly easy to make at home. I will share my easy chocolate hazelnut spread recipe, but I will also share the fascinating story of a brand and a traditional Italian delicacy.

Born and raised in Alba. The whole city smells like Nutella in the summertime. Tourists love it, locals not so much. Nice video
Edit: holy crap, the city council should pay me for this kind of promotion. By the way, I left the city years ago.

To make it smooth, you'll need a stone melangeur (also called "wet grinder"). They're usually used to grind cocoa beans and thus smoothen chocolate.

The European version of Nutella tastes alot better than the US version. I havent heard a single person who has said the US version is better.

When your mom says "We have Nutella at home." but it actually tastes better.

My uncle was bringing Nutella from Italy in the 90s. It was heaven. My family didn’t dream of buying Nutella when I was little. The taste was different then from now. I remember the special editions Nutella with the Italian National Team.

I came here to learn the recipe and i ended getting a history lesson. Overall had a good time

I've actually made this with unsweetened hazelnut butter. That provided the smooth texture that you can't get by grinding your own hazelnuts.

Collaborate with Joshua Weissman. "Nutella: But Better"

"It's like you got a punch on the face from the hazel nut and the chocolate comes back and comforts you"

Lol

The original nutella also has skim milk powder in it. If the hazelnuts aren’t toasted, you must do it (130’C for 30min) you should also use a melanger to get a really smooth and creamy paste..tho whole process does take hours.

Why don’t this guy start his own company called ‘we make everything but just 100% better’

[amelie]

It’s kind of sad. Before the Nutella craze hit I remember it having less sugar and more real ingredients. Just tried Nutella again a few days ago and it’s nowhere near what it used to be.

I literally binge watched this entire channel like six months ago and have been searching forever to find it again 😭 probably my favorite YouTube food channel ever. 10/10

I can't help but paraphrase the joke from the movie Ratatouille: "Ferrero has finally found his rightful place in history right alongside another equally famous chef, Monsieur Boyardee."

[el.k]

Because there's no aftertaste of human rights violation

More info: Since the 90's Nutella has been going through changes and one of the major ones is that skimmed milk powder and sugar has been replacing cocoa, this has made Nutella a lot more sweeter and less intense, this has also produced a lighter color also the amount of hazelnuts has been reduced outside of Italy, so you don't get the same buttery mouth feel.

I was looking at Hazelnut Butter recipes and thought..How can someone possibly have 1mil views on something so simple?? But dude, no wonder - your production value is sick! Props to you.

I couldn't get my hands on hazelnuts so I used cashews in the recipe above. I incorporated the water in and at first it came out a nice smooth delicious spread but after a few hours in the fridge, the homemade chocolate spread did firm up. I wound up rolling them into little balls and then dusting with cocoa powder to make truffles.
