I'm a huuuuuuuuuge fan of Nutella, ever since I was little and would eat it on toast for breakfast (which probably isn't the greatest idea for kids, in retrospect, oh well). I've heard about how the US Nutella (made in Canada) is different from the real European Nutella- various online sources say that the Italian Nutella has more hazelnuts, less sugar, and less or no hydrogenated oils, compared to the US version. I never could find the glass jar version- UNTIL NOW, at the lovely Italian Store in Arlington, VA.
At $4.99 for the small glass jar, it's definitely not a cheap everyday item, but Nutella's the type of stuff that you probably shouldn't be eating every day to begin with, as much as we'd all like to, haha. The consistency of the Italian Nutella is v. soft and creamy, and there was no oil separation on top like I have seen before with the US Nutella. It's great on toasted bread, fruit, cookies, pretty much anything you'd want to put chocolate on. Plus, from reading up on this version online, the glass jar is also a great drinking glass after you've eaten all the Nutella!
