The Nutella Conspiracy

Nutella is surprisingly easy to make at home. I will share my easy chocolate hazelnut spread recipe, but I will also share the fascinating story of a brand and a traditional Italian delicacy.

The original nutella also has skim milk powder in it. If the hazelnuts aren’t toasted, you must do it (130’C for 30min) you should also use a melanger to get a really smooth and creamy paste..tho whole process does take hours.

[@alexk3088]

" feels less nasty in your mouth" - that's probably because of not using palm oil. Somehow I don't think the artisans of Italy had palm oil at their disposal back when this stuff was invented. And sustainable-schmastainable, the stuff is culinarily and nutritionally garbage and poison. For a short while our local Costco carried a hazelnut paste that was based on normal edible oils (sunflower) and it was cheaper than the overbranded stuff. Well, I suspect someone pressured someone and this product is now gone. I don't buy Nutella and not because of price. I never pay my money for food that contains palm oil - there's just no need for that.

[@adreabrooks11]

Good on you! Friendly warning: palm oil is also found in a number of other household products like certain bar soaps and antiperspirants. Keep doing your product-source research, and keep fighting the good fight!

[@alexk3088]

@@adreabrooks11 well, I don't eat soap or deodorant, so I have no issue with that. Besides, soap doesn't "contain" any type of fat, it's "made from" fat by a process of saponification. Nothing wrong with that. For deodorant I've been using good old barber alum, it's been used since Bible times. It lets your skin sweat but keeps it from stinking. No residue. In the US a brand called Crystal offers alum in stick deodorant format (they have packages for men and women but it's the same stuff and no scent).

[@adreabrooks11]

@@alexk3088 Ahh, I misunderstood your intention, when you mentioned the lack of sustainability. I agree that it's dietarily garbage. It's also devastating to the biomes where it's grown commercially - and I thought that's what you were driving at with that particular phrase. Regarding saponification: a lot of commercial soaps are "made from" a blend of fats. One of the fats this mixture often "contains" is palm oil. :) Regarding the alum, I still remain wary of aluminum in my products. The notion that aluminum cookware and the like causes Alzheimer's disease has been pretty roundly debunked - but there *has* been correlation found between aluminum levels in the brain and progression of dementia. It's still unclear whether the link is causal, consequential or coincidental - but I prefer to play it safe and just rely on frequent washing.

I remember emailing Nutella regarding their palm oil usage. They responded with the "sustainable palm oil" schpeal. Instead of stopping there I continued doing research and found that there is basically no such thing as sustainable palm oil. "Sustainable" in this sense just means that the government owning those rainforests have earmarked the palm trees for being cut down for industry. The natural assumption is that they are farm grown but that is not true, they are still contributing to deforestation

For example, I looked up " the meaning of sustainable palm oil" and found countless results, two of which from Greenpeace saying how sustainable palm oil is fake. " certified sustainable palm oil is a con" and " 5 problems with sustainable palm oil" and it explains deeper into everything, including rspo. And it's not just Greenpeace, an article from EIA, environmental investigation agency, which also clearly states the disturbing truth behind rspo. " palm oil watchdogs sustainability guarantee is still a destructive con" it's called.

Tried the recipe today with tweaking the first 3 ingredients to 200gr hazelnuts, 100gr powdered sugar and 66gr cocoa. I also substituted the coconut oil for olive which worked fine. The water content I eyeballed. Tastes so great I doubt I'll ever go back to Nutella. Thanks for trying it out, sharing the recipe and releasing fun videos about your experiments!

[@mnstmnst910]

Not a fan of adding water to the formulation, since it promotes the growth of bacteria. Instead, I'd use 4th or even 5th press olive oil to diminish or even cancel any "olive oil taste". I'm sure this would be even closer to the original formulation. I don't believe the original formulation included any other oil. As a manufacturer you always look for local ingredients to lower cost and palm and coconut oil back then, were probably hard to get, they had to pay freight, duties, irregular deliveries that would risk production and all that would have made it pricey.

[@uzumakiroopali]

hey, would you mind to share your recipe for homemade nutella. I've tried a few recipes but there's a taste of hazelnuts that i hate. Maybe replacing it with almonds would work. Is it common, that odd taste of hazelnut or i'm just used to eating the sugary store nutella.

[@discoguru8363]

Quick maths: 40% in this Vs 13% in Nutella. So that's ~3x the quantity. At present Ferrero SPA (owner of Nutella) buys roughly 1/3rd of all hazelnuts produced around the world in one year. So if they were to adopt this method, they would have to buy ALL the hazelnuts produced around the world in one year.

[@d4n4nable]

Kind of, but the price would go up by so much, they'd only sell a tiny fraction of their current quantity.

[@ananonymousoyster365]

Danan and either hazelnut demand would go up leading to just more hazelnuts and less demand for Nutella because of the higher price.

[@alifurkansahin7818]

@@ananonymousoyster365 This is true. I'm from the Black Sea coast of Turkey, where 70% of the all the hazelnut in the world is grown. In the last two decades, low prices has been driving farmers to get rid of hazelnut trees and experiment with other agricultural produce. An increase in hazelnut demand would quickly reverse this trend. We used to have a hazelnut farm ourselves, until we had to remove them last year because of the economical side of things.

I'm living in hazelnut region of Turkey. News about child labour and human rights violation somewhat true depends on the province. However it is not widespread these days. Also definition of child labour here is kind of murky. Most of seasonal workers travel with their whole family and get daily wages depends on their capability. Although I can say that work itself is not dangerous or hard in most lands. I started to collect hazelnuts for our relatives when I was 12 years old. Hazelnuts I collected given to me by grandfather. Regulating whole economy is hard as well because most of the land where hazelnuts are produced owned by seperate local families where families sell it to merchants or directly to cooperative named "Fiskobirlik" which makes chocolate hazelnut spread much better than Nutella. Also quality of these spread would change widely depends on what kind of hazelnuts you are using but it changes cost of it as well.

[@akifcelik3074]

10:21 I can confirm the child labor part. My family in turkey owns a rather small farm that mainly focuses on hazelnut and to pick them everyone helps out. The father, mother and children some as young as 8. In summer with around 30C there sure are better activities but their family relies on that money and the companies barely pay anything so they can’t hire others to do the work for them.

I remember eating Nutella when it was just starting to come to Canada. They came in small glass cups and I thought the flavour was amazing. But I think something changed in the recipe once it started to be mass produced into the larger plastic containers because it just isn't as good as i remember??

[@TheAnon26]

They did recently change the recipe to keep the prices down. Removed hazelnut and cocoa, added more sugar and palm oil, basically.

[@damlah.7452]

TheAnon26 Yes and I think that they also increased the amount of milkpowder a couple years ago.

[@M.Happie]

I liked nutella when I was little, but always thought it was too sweet (even as a kid). When I found out later that it was just as bad as eating a candy bar, I was completely turned off. I grew up being told Nutella was healthier than peanut butter. So, discovering that a company kept that kind of lie up for years just turned me off completely. I haven't eaten any since then. I am though definitely going to try the hazelnut brand you tasted in the video. Your expressions were wonderful. I'd love to make your homemade version, but I just recently bought a new food processor and I'm trying to take it easy on it. I'd like it to last longer than my other one. 😁 Thanks for the video! 💗

[@hiraunia]

Really, it was marketed as healthier than peanutbutter? Its chocolate!

[@M.Happie]

@@hiraunia In America it was said to be healthier than peanut butter because it used hazelnuts instead of peanuts and "supposedly" didn't have that much sugar in it. It was marketed this way from the very beginning and they never changed their claim to this outrageous lie. Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@M.Happie Seriously?! God i hate marketing!

[@liamhuges]

I love nutella but you are correct, it's not the healthiest snack. Years ago they got sued specifically because of the "it's healthy" advertisment. I was on the claim as well and they paid out a lot. I don't think that they advertise it as a healthy snack any longer.

Allergies can be caused by rather unstable compounds that will break down easily when cooked. I can eat well roasted hazelnuts but I'll get a good allergic reaction when they're raw. In the case of Nutella they're roasted for a long amount of time.
