📜 The Sweet & Spreadable History
World Nutella Day was created in 2007 by blogger and superfan Sara Rosso, who believed (correctly) that Nutella deserved its own global celebration. What started as an internet love letter quickly turned into a worldwide phenomenon, with fans sharing recipes, photos, and declarations of devotion.
Nutella itself dates back to post-World War II Italy, when cocoa was scarce and hazelnuts were plentiful. The result? A genius-level workaround that eventually became a global icon, produced by Ferrero and adored by millions. Proof that necessity really is the mother of delicious invention.
