Small History
Pietro Ferrero owned a bakery in Alba, an Italian town known for the production of hazelnuts. In 1946, he sold the initial 300 kilograms (660 lb) batch of Pasta Gianduja. Originally sold as a solid block, Ferrero started to sell a creamy version in 1951 as Supercrema.[5]
In 1963, Ferrero’s son Michele Ferrero revamped Supercrema with the intention of marketing it throughout Europe. Its composition was modified, and it was renamed “Nutella”. The first jar of Nutella left the factory in Alba on April 20, 1964. The product was an instant success and remains widely popular. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutella)
2019, Nutella became 55 years old.
Quality Defect Causes Shut Down of The World’s Biggest Nutella Factory In France
A quality issue causes the makers of Nutella (an extremely popular hazelnut chocolate spread) to shut down their biggest factory in France. Production at the factory in Villers-Ecalles, France, was halted earlier this week after a “quality defect” was detected in semi-finished products, as reported by CNN. But none of the Nutella products that had been on store shelves was affected by the problem and that the supply of Nutella to customers continued uninterrupted.
Nutella was created after World War II, when a cocoa shortage in Italy required pastry makers to get creative.
Chef Pietro Ferrero, created the spread using hazelnuts, sugar and a bit of cocoa.
Since then the spread has been extremely popular across the world.
Over a year ago, there was a near-riot in supermarkets in France after a French grocery chain discounted Nutella by 70 per cent.
In November 2017, Nutella fans outraged on social media after word got out that the recipe for the spread had been changed.
