What Is Nutella Anyways!?

A lot of fans love Nutella for its chocolatey flavour that is loaded with the aroma and taste of hazelnuts. However, you’ll be surprised that the famous spread isn’t entirely chocolate at all!

Nutella is not real chocolate in the traditional sense. While it does contain cocoa, it is not pure chocolate as it is made from a blend of ingredients including sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, and skimmed milk powder. The result is a creamy, spreadable product that has a distinctive flavor and texture, but it is not considered real chocolate. 

Real chocolate is typically made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and sometimes milk solids, whereas Nutella is made with additional ingredients that change its taste and texture. If you are looking for a spread that is similar to chocolate, Nutella is a good choice, but it should not be considered a substitute for real chocolate.
