World Nutella Day

World Nutella Day is on February 5th.

Given that Nutella is a brand name, this is obviously one of the more commercial holidays around, although it wasn't created by Ferrero, the manufacturers of Nutella, but by a fan of it. Ferrero does support the holiday, though.

Nutella itself is a sweetened cocoa spread. It contains sugar and palm oil, cocoa solids and skimmed milk. It often cannot be labelled as a chocolate spread, as the amount of cocoa solids does not meet the minimum criteria. The exact ingredients do vary depending on the country in which it is made or sold. Despite certain claims in the past, Nutella is not a terribly nutritious food; one reason being that it contains enough sugar that it does not need refrigerating.

Nutella is served as a spread on various things; toast is common but it is also used with pancakes.
