World Nutella Day: Celebrating February 5th and France's Passion for the Iconic Spread

February 5th is World Nutella Day! Launched in 2007 by food blogger Sara Rosso, who couldn't believe the world's favorite hazelnut spread lacked its own holiday, this global event invites everyone to share recipes, tips, and their love for Nutella. It's a delicious excuse to indulge without restraint.

France: Nutella's Biggest Fans

France leads the world in Nutella devotion, consuming 2.7 kilos every second—or 1 million jars daily (per Planetoscope). That's 84,000 tonnes annually, accounting for 26% of global sales. Our gourmet reputation shines through, especially with Mardi Gras arriving just a week later. Coincidence? We think not! Here's to another Nutella-filled toast.
