Well they can get around the % statement and put 0 Trans-Fat as long as there is less than .5 grams. However, my policy and IMO the best one, is to read the ingredient label since they cannot hide anything on there. If you see anything that is partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated, that equals trans-fat.

OMG. I wish I hadn't found this thread. I'm having a serious craving. It's probably been a decade or so since I bought Nutella; I had no idea there were any differences.

You can say that about virtually anything bought in another country, Americans have this total thing for blandness in food they sell here.
Sister in law is on her honeymoon in Paris right now, there won't be any nutella left when she leaves.

The new law banning trans fats in restaurants went into effect here in NYC yesterday. I wonder if that means my favorite crepe place can't serve Nutella and banana crepes anymore.

Nutella is a great treat for my 3 and 5 yr old, they love "chocolate bread". We buy it from BJ's Wholesale Club, I think the large container is like $10 or $12.

Slightly OT: When I'm traveling, Bahlsen's Hit cookies are sometimes part of my daily rations of bread, cheese and tomatoes, as my "dessert'. I bought some stateside recently and YUCK! They're nothing like the ones I usually eat. I checked the label and these came from Poland. Dunno where the others were manufactured 'cause I never thought to look.
Now I know how you all mean Nutella from a certain country(ies) taste better than others.

You can stick your Nutella! Nocilla is sooo much nicer.

It outsells Nutella in Spain by a huge margin. I've always found Nutella to be a disappointment having been indoctrinated into the delights of Nocilla meriendas from an early age.
It's been a very long time since I conducted my Nutella/Nocilla taste test - so I can't remember exactly why I preferred Nocilla.

I am a big fan of Nocilla as well. The reason why I prefer the Nocilla is b/c it does not have the "hazlenut" taste that Nutella has. Nocilla is "chocolate heaven!"

It is for me.Does Nocilla have hazelnut in it or is it simply a chocolate spread ?
