After the Second World War, cocoa was extremely scarce. Founded as an Italian pastry shop in Piedmont, Italy, Ferrero turned this problem into a smart solution, creating a sweet paste made from hazelnuts, sugar, and just a little of the rare cocoa. The ancestor of Nutella® was born.

The Giandujot, named after a local carnival character, was a paste shaped into a loaf that could be sliced and spread on bread.
