![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() First, big vats of nutella at a creperie in Venice, next a stack of nutella near the Eiffel Tower, then nutella in a vending machine in Avignon, and last a cartoon in French about nutella. I MUST MOVE THERE!

^ it is perhaps a little known fact that nutella is italian. It was invented by Pietro Ferrero in 1946. During this postwar period, chocolate was scarce and expensive, so he decided to replace some of the cocoa with Piedmont nuts. He then dubbed this mixture of nuts, cocoa, milk and sugar "Giandujot". The name Nutella arrived in 1966. It's a mixture of "nut" -americanization- and "ella" -to reflect its italian roots.
ack. I'd do anything to avoid work today. Even translate the history of Nutella ![]() |

I am so glad to know that I am not alone in my obsession with nutella. Love the history! Italian... hrm.. Well, Florence was my favorite. Maybe I'll have to move there, you can all come visit!
In the meantime, I think we should visit Southern Utah, where I grew up.
