Dairy-Free Hazelnut Spreads

Nutella Plant-Based has Chickpeas and Rice Syrup in Place of Milk

— September 3, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Nutella Plant-Based spread has been launched by the brand in select European markets to provide consumers with a dairy-free way to incorporate the nutty, chocolatey product into their everyday lifestyle. The spread is crafted with the same taste and texture of the brand's original Nutella in mind, and features chickpeas and rice syrup in the recipe that replaces the milk. The final result is a sweet, nutty and chocolatey spread perfect for elevating any breakfast, snack or dessert.

Global President of Nutella at Ferrero Thomas Chatenier spoke on the Nutella Plant-Based spread saying, "For 60 years, millions of people around the world have begun their day enjoying breakfast with Nutella. We are excited to welcome even more people into the brand offering Nutella Plant-Based, the latest addition to the growing Nutella family. We developed this innovation to provide a delicious new choice that delivers the unmistakable Nutella experience in a plant-based version, replacing milk with vegetal ingredients, offering the same great taste, smooth texture, and excellent quality that the Nutella brand is known and loved for.”
