Interesting facts: Nutella, in its earliest form, was created in the 1940s by Mr. Pietro Ferrero, a pastry maker and founder of the Ferrero company. At the time, there was very little chocolate because cocoa was in short supply due to World War II rationing. So Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts, which are plentiful in the Piedmont region of Italy (northwest), to extend the chocolate supply. The original version of Nutella spread was called "pasta gianduja", pasta which means paste, and "gianduja" which is the name of a carnival character famous to the region. In 1951 the product was altered into a paste that came in a jar, so it could be spread on the bread. This then became known as "Supercrema gianduja" because it was a spreadable version of the gianduja. "Supercrema gianduja" was renamed "Nutella" in 1964, with the origin of the word being "nut" and the "ella" giving it a soft ending.
