What is the best bread for Nutella? ›

You can use any kind of sliced bread you want, but a nice thick one like brioche or challah gives the best depth of flavor and best absorbs the batter.

Nutella^® helps make even the most ordinary mornings feel special. Simply spread Nutella^® on top of a croissant, waffle, crepe, pancake or piece of toast. Enjoy a special breakfast with Nutella^® with your family, and watch how the magic of Nutella^® transforms a simple morning into something extraordinary.

You could butter your bread before the Nutella but that's really gilding the lily in my opinion. It's just a matter of preference and even some people butter it when they're using one type of spread but not if they're using another. I'm one of them. I butter toast even if I'm not applying anything else.

Peanut butter has more protein, with 8 grams per 2 tablespoon serving compared to 3.5 grams in Nutella. It also has more fiber, with 2 grams versus 1 gram in Nutella. However, Nutella contains calcium, potassium and iron, while peanut butter has little to none of these minerals.

Nutella^® should be stored at room temperature between 18-24 °C (between 64 and 75°F). Keep the container tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place to maintain maximum flavor. Do not refrigerate Nutella^®, otherwise it will harden and become difficult to spread.

When you break down the numbers you'll find it contains 100 calories per tablespoon and more than 50-percent of that comes from fat. While there are some heart-healthy fats from nuts, one-third is the artery-clogging saturated kind. As for the sugar, it's not looking much better – nearly 5 teaspoons per serving!

The most famous brand is definitely Ferrero's Nutella, but I've also found Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Blend, Belgium's Cocoa Haze!, and Italy's Rigoni di Asiago Nocciolata.

How to eat Nutella with bread? ›

Pair Nutella with toast, and not with just any bread (OK, any bread will be great), but a buttery loaf like Challah or brioche—or try it with a cinnamon-raisin bagel. For the best match of all, toast slices of banana bread and spread with Nutella.

After doing some research, according to multiple resources, the letter N is black because the name 'Nutella' was originally used by another brand. So they simply changed the colour of the letter to ensure there wasn't a trademark issue.

Limited Competition: Nutella has few direct competitors that match its specific taste, texture, and brand image. This lack of competition allows the brand to set its prices without significant downward pressure.

Spread Nutella on a slice of plain white bread.

This is probably the most common way to enjoy Nutella, and certainly one of the simplest aside from eating it straight off the spoon (which is perfectly acceptable). Try it on a nice crusty baguette. It's also tasty on a toasted bagel.
