Keep the container tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place to maintain maximum flavor. Do not refrigerate Nutella^®, otherwise it will harden and become difficult to spread. Excessive heat will accelerate the loss of flavor and may cause the oils found in Nutella^® to separate.

Storage Conditions: Opened Nutella jars last up to 12 months when kept in a cool, dry place, whereas unopened jars can last a few months past the expiration date. Storing in the refrigerator may extend freshness but can also alter spreadability.

The Ferrero Group is now one of the world's largest sweet-packaged food companies with over 35 much-loved brands, such as Kinder^®, Nutella^®, Ferrero Rocher^® and Tic Tac^®, sold in more than 170 countries.

To most people, Ferrero is simply the first part of the name of individually wrapped hazelnut chocolate pieces that you often see out around Valentine's Day and Mother's Day — Ferrero Rocher. But on Tuesday, the European chocolate company announced it was buying Nestle's U.S. confectionary business for $2.8 billion.

In 1946, Pietro Ferrero invented a cream of hazelnuts and cocoa, derived from gianduja and called it Pasta Gianduja. The initial product came in solid loaves wrapped in aluminium foil, which had to be sliced with a knife, and was succeeded by a spreadable version called Supercrema.

You can quickly melt Nutella by scooping it into a bowl and microwaving it gently. Or if you'd like to melt a larger amount, simply put the jar of Nutella into a bowl of hot water. If you only need a little Nutella for spreading, heat a metal knife or spoon then use it to scrape up the softened Nutella.

Yep! According to one Reddit user, UD_Ramirez, it's all in the way you scoop your Nutella from the jar, and always going from the centre will stop you ever having to scrape dried bits of Nutella from the edge of the jar for good.

What is the shelf life of Nutella®? Nutella® has a 12 month shelf life even after opening for the portion packs (0.52oz), jars (26.5oz) and the tubs (6.6lb). Nutella® piping bag (35.2oz) has a 6 month shelf life.

Generally, unopened Nutella past its expiration date is safe to consume if it shows no signs of spoilage, such as unusual smell, appearance, or taste. However, it's best to use discretion and consider factors like storage conditions before consuming.

Does peanut butter expire? ›

You can keep peanut butter in the pantry for six to nine months (unopened) and two to three months (opened).

If it's kept in colder surroundings, the oils in the spread start to harden, giving it a stiff texture. In contrast, if the temperature is too high, oils separate from the spread and rise to the top. This separation is likely why your Nutella seems watery.

In what areas does Ferrero Rocher score well for its ethics? Ferrero does score above our benchmark in imperative categories such as having a detailed Environmental Report, and no involvement in Fossil Fuels, Armaments or Nuclear Power.

Bloomberg reported the rumor last week, and today Nestle confirmed the deal. In addition to its namesake foil-wrapped truffles, Ferrero Rocher also makes Nutella and Tic Tacs. Nestle's confectionery division includes numerous iconic candy bars such as Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Kit Kat, and Nestle Crunch.

Nestle's confectionery business is now owned by The Ferrero Group, and managed by Ferrero's U.S.-based subsidiary Ferrara Candy Co. The manufacturer of Brach's, RedHots, Trolli, Black Forest and Sathers candy brands, Ferrara was acquired by Luxembourg-based Ferrero this past December.
