However, other countries sell the Italian-produced ones, so you have to read the labels....
Don't buy in Austria - that version is not good at all...(sorry Austrians!

I have no idea how I missed this thread and am coming late to the party (armed with my jar of Nutella of course!)
I could have written the above word for word. I learned early on not to buy Nutella in Austria (and a lot of other food as well).
We ate Nutella daily for breakfast and I still travel with a jar around the world. Canadian Nutella is better than US Nutella, but German and Italian is still best.
Last summer we had the 'great Nutella incident' travelling to India; I failed to buy any in Germany due to the Fronleichnam holiday and my Italian colleague had his three jars he was bringing confiscated in Singapore. Luckily a colleague was able to get me a jar via Malaysia (and the Italian got one via Australia) but we were both missing our 'real' Nutella....
great thread!!!!
