How did Nutella get its name?

Nutella was originally called "pasta gianduja". The pasta part means paste, and the "gianduja" part is the name of a character famous in the region.  It was fisrt made in loaves of bread that would be used to make sandwiches.  Then they workers made it so it was easier to spread on breadand not made in it.  When they did that they changed the name to "supercrema gianduja".  Later on it finally was named Nutella in 1964.  The makers decided Nutella would be the with nut being the begining and "ella" being a nice ending.

I don't like nutella, but this is a good post. What does Gianduja look like. Is nutella from Italy? I didn't know pasta meant paste. Nice post.

Hey Maddie!

I think you did a really good job on your blog! Your posts are so informative and I really learned a lot from reading it. I had no idea that that is how Nutella got its name. It's really interesting that it starting off sounding so Italian and foreign but ended up sounding somewhat normal. Great job and thanks for sharing your Nutella knowledge!
