In addition to where to find some amazing Nutella creations in Miami, here’s some fun facts about this delicious spread:

      *One jar of Nutella is sold every 2.5 seconds throughout the world. According to the United States Census Bureau, one person is born every eight seconds. 

     *Nutella uses 25% of the world’s supply of hazelnuts.

     * Pietro Ferrero first introduced the product in 1946 as a solid block called “pasta gianduja” which could be sliced and served on bread, but in 1963 it evolved into a spreadable version called Supercrema.  Ferrero is still the manufacturer of today’s Nutella, with plants in Canada and Mexico supplying the North American Market.

    *You could cover the Great Wall of China eight times with the amount of Nutella sold each year.

    *The Nutella name came about as a result of combining the English word ‘nut’ and the Latin suffix for sweet – ‘ella’.

     * In 2013 the chocolate-hazelnut spread made headlines in Germany, where thieves pulled off a $20,000 heist, stealing 5.5 metric tons of the sweet stuff from a parked truck. Several weeks earlier, Columbia University found itself at the center of “Nutella-gate,” an expose smearing the school for spending $6000 per week on the spread for one of its dining facilities, where students were allegedly consuming 100 pounds of it per day.
