Nutella is one of the greatest contributions man has made to society and besides being among the tastiest spreadable foods to grace the planet, Nutella is also quite versatile (see: Nutellatina and Nugtella). However, I bet you didn't know that it takes multiple countries to produce a single jar of chocolate hazelnut heaven?
Ferrero International in Italy produces Nutella and sources its ingredients from all over the world. Those famous hazelnuts? They're from Turkey. And about that cocoa -- it's from Nigeria. Other ingredients include Malaysian palm oil, Brazilian or European sugar and French vanilla flavoring. Check out the detailed breakdown on the map below:
