my coworker always buys those single serve packets at a local Italian joint.

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!!!!

That's a great story! :D

I need to buy another jar of the imported kind. Mmm...so good!

I've got two trips coming up, one to Rome and another to Budapest. If I don't check luggage, as most FTs don't, are there good (legal) ways to bring back the "real Nutella" in carry-on luggage? I'll have space and can handle the weight, just don't want it confiscated by security.

I recently learned the hard way that a tiny single-serve cup of applesauce is considered a liquid and is slightly over the 3 oz. limit. What about Nutella? Liquid, gel, ??

Thank you all for this enlightenment. I never knew there were different varieties.

PM me the next time - I happen to have excess "stock" right now, due to the generosity of one of our Swiss/German principals!

Also note that Nutella *is* available in most large cities in India, if you know the right places, but the stock is usually older, and you cannot control from which country it is sourced - it could be from the US, from Romania, etc.

Always remember that you cannot carry in jars of Nutella in your hand luggage anymore, due to the liquid ban! (it is in semi-solid form, right?)

One time in FRA I had to buy another rollaboard, and I checked in my stock as an additional checked-in piece - luckily I was flying in F!

I may have to take you up on that! (or I would be delighted to replenish your supply one day....)

I was only in BOM for a few hours before a month in Goa so no 'big cities' really available.

After a long travel delay rerouting me all over India on my way home to Germany, it was heaven to wake up in LH C and have the purser serve me coffee, croissant, and a packet of Nutella! :D

I would assume so. Passing through LAS last month on the way back to YYZ, someone in security had to surrender their jar of Peanut butter. If Peanut butter is regarded in such ways by security officials, I don't see it being any different for Nutella.

Thanks! ^

I would think that Goa might actually have some stores that carry it (although Goa is very spread out, so it might be a pain to travel from one end to the other to buy it...), given the amount of foreigners practically living and operating businesses down there - my friend has a nightclub in Goa, I'll ask him and advise...

I agree to that - one of the few good things in LH C! :p (hardly any time to sleep, when you are flying out at 0325 hours!! :eek:)

Hmmm I am going to India this weekend; maybe I should stock up on Nutella before I leave... . @:-)

Bumping this thread because I am hungry.

Does anyone enjoy the special editions Nutella? During WorldCup I bought and shipped the football 'jar' to my Italian friend in the US. I was in Italy a few weeks ago and looked longingly at the 5kg jar. Sadly I could not envision transporting, nor eating the contents of the jar.

It would appear that the special editions vary in Italy/France/Germany, at least based on my experiences....

Any special ones to share? Growing up, the football ones used to bore me, but as a poor student I had quite the nice set of drinking glasses courtesy of Nutella! :D

Picked these up at FRA...very good value!
