Ferrero, the global confectionery company, has announced an innovative addition to its Nutella product line – Nutella Peanut. This new flavor is the first to be introduced by the brand in over six decades.
Nutella Peanut blends the beloved Nutella cocoa and hazelnut spread with roasted peanuts. Designed for daily consumption, this new blend is perfect for sandwiches and snacks.
The company notes that the new product maintains the cherished creamy texture of Nutella while incorporating a distinct peanut flavor. Nutella Peanut is currently being introduced across the United States, with promotional events and in-store availability planned.
Senior Vice President of Spreads for Ferrero North America, Noah Szporn, explained the company’s decision to innovate. “When a jar of Nutella becomes an internet sensation, even making its way into space, it opens a world of possibilities. As such, it was only logical for us to introduce our first new flavor in over 60 years,” said Szporn.
This launch marks a significant milestone for the global spread brand. Since its inception in 1964, Ferrero has primarily grown its Nutella product line through packaging and format innovations. The introduction of Nutella Peanut is part of the company’s strategic plan to cater to the changing tastes of consumers, especially in the North American market.
Earlier in the year, Ferrero expanded its offerings with the launch of its frozen bakery range – Nutella Croissant and Nutella Muffin. These items are now accessible to food service partners across Australia.
