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...
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 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!

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.

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!
