Nutella was created in an Italian bakery by Pietro Ferrero in the 1940s. He wanted to try to make a cheaper alternative to chocolate because it was in short supply due to World War ll. He made it by using a little cocoa combined with hazelnuts. Originally it was a solid block, sliced to put on bread, but it soon developed into a spread. The name Nutella is two words combined Nut and ella which is a Latin suffix for sweet. Children who came into an Italian shop with a slice of bread were given a free spoonful of Nutella to spread onto it. Pietro Ferrero's son Michele still owns the company that makes Nutella and is one of Italy's richest men. A jar of Nutella sells every 2.5 seconds.
These little Nutella pictures were made by me. My inspiration - An empty Nutella jar and a rumbling tum!
