Hazelnut spread? There’s news! A few days ago, Barilla broke the news that it is going to launch a hazelnut spreadable cream with the brand “Pan di Stelle” on it, which will challenge Nutella‘s nearly absolute leadership. A contest of flavour, which will delight everybody’s palate, worldwide.
Rumour has it, initially the new Pan di Stelle spread will be sold in a unique format, that is 330g, and the price will be higher than its rival; as for quality, it is said that it will contain lesser amounts of sugar, sunflower oil (Nutella uses palm oil) and it will be made with only 100% Italian hazelnuts.
Finally, it seems the cocoa will be obtained sustainably. Some say that the cream will also contain Pan di Stelle cookies crumbs: in practice, this is going to be interesting!
We are certain that our clients, that is wholesalers and retailers in all parts of the world, are as curious as we are to try out this new Pan di Stelle spread, and that is why we will send them free samples as soon as the product is available.
Hazelnut spread: the 5 best ones according to Bell Italia
Let’s get back to Nutella and start right from there, as it is, currently, the number one in the world, and let us see the five best hazelnut spreads on the market according to Bell Italia. Of course, 100 Italian.
Nutella
Since 1946, the year of its foundation, Ferrero has always stood out for its commitment to excellence and for the dedication of all the stuff. The results are there for all to see: Ferrero is a world leader in the sector of sweet snacks and, of course, in that of hazelnuts spreads.
Nutella stands out for the authentic hazelnut and cocoa flavour made even more irresistible by its unparalleled creaminess. It is so good that even a small taste is a delight: 15g Nutella, that is about a spoonful, spread on a slice of bread is an experience like no other.
Novi
The Gruppo Elah Dufour Novi was born in 1982 on the initiative of the entrepreneur Flavio Repetto, and in the confectionery-manufacturing sector it is represented by four historical brands of the Italian industry: Elah, Dufour, Novi and Baratti & Milano; Novi was founded in Novi Ligure in 1903 and produces chocolate: the Grandi Nocciolati, the exclusive Fondentenero, the Gran Cru Nero Nero, the traditional Gianduja Piemonte, Gianduiotti, the praline Otello and the Novi spread.
All the raw materials are selected at the origin, and when they arrive at the production plant they are submitted to thorough verifications: cocoa beans, hazelnuts, almonds, milk, sugar, fruit juices and gum Arabic, to obtain one of the best hazelnut spreads on the market.
Rigoni di Asiago
That of Rigoni di Asiago is the history of a small family enterprise that became, in time, a big company. A company that combines tradition and innovation, respect for nature and authentic flavours. The history started in the ’20s when granma Elisa turned her beekeeping amateur activity in an actual job.
Rigoni di Asiago’s Nocciolata is good, because it is made exclusively with selected organic ingredients with high-quality certifications; it is smooth, because it is processed slowly and carefully, according to the most ancient tradition; it is natural because it is not submitted to chemical processes, doesn’t contain any additives, colourings or flavourings. In short: an actual delicacy to be tried at least once.
Pernigotti
Pernigotti S.p.A. is an Italian company specialized in the production of pralines, nougat, Easter eggs and ice cream mixes, owned by Sanset Food which is part of the Toksöz Group of the Turkish Toksöz family.
Pernigotti contains 29% hazelnuts and up to 33% in the “dark” variant. It is produced using only natural ingredients and is characterized by the irresistible flavour and creaminess. The package is very elegant, which makes the product a good idea also for a gift.
Valsoia vegetable hazelnut spread
Valsoia is an Italian company operating in the food sector and especially in the health food business. It is specialized in the production of plant foods, mainly by using soy and products from soybeans. Since 2006 it is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange.
