1.0 out of 5 stars Ferrero's missed opportunity, May 2, 2007

By

Nutella is stocked by the pallet in Europe, but much less popular in the USA for the excellent reason that the NJ plant produces an inferior product. This stuff is edible, but it's too sweet and doesn't have a strong hazelnut flavor. Ferrero finished Americanizing it by putting it in a much smaller plastic container and adding trans fat. Look for the genuine imported product or try making your own chocolate peanut butter. (I've tried making a chocolate hazelnut butter, but it's hard to duplicate the Nutella flavor)

Update: Nutella now contains "modified palm oil" instead of the partially hydrogenated variety. It's nice of Ferrero to shell out the extra .03 per bottle not to use a substance known to be somewhat lethal, but I expect the flavor hasn't improved, or we'd all be hearing a lot more about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper to buy in grocery stores, March 24, 2009

By 

G. S. (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nutella Hazelnut Spread, 13-Ounce Plastic Jar (Pack of 5) (Grocery)

$21 / 5 = $4.20
When I buy the jars individually at the grocery store (QFC in Seattle) I pay around $3.60 per jar. How is this a good deal?

UPDATE (March 2011): at the discounted price of $17.42 for the 5-pack it's $3.48 for each jar. QFC in Seattle now sells the 13oz jar for $3.99. Now we're talking :)

This review is from: Nutella Hazelnut Spread, 13-Ounce Plastic Jar (Pack of 5) (Grocery)

I was introduced to Nutella when I lived in France a few years ago. Yep, got addicted; but had to cold-turkey when I left France. Now I'm addicted again, thanks to that buttinski Amazon.

Ah well, I can enjoy this stuff again, so thanks, Amazon. It originated in Italy; and in France is eaten much like we do peanut butter here. I think the French enjoy their sweets. And hazelnuts are much more common there than here.

Now, I see someone provides us with interesting comments on the New Jersey version. That, I just can't counter. My stint in France was '96-'99 and I'm getting old; so maybe my taste buds don't have accurate memories. It tastes just fine to moi. Good stuff!

My only regret is the cost. You know, if we on Amazon can make this more popular in the States, then maybe others (if they can find the hazelnuts in quantity) will produce imitations, Nutella will counter, and the marketplace will dictate a lower price.

Sound good? Try this item and get addicted, then.

Still, considering the price of other chocolate products, is it that high?
