Europeans, on the other hand, are a bit wary of peanut butter - strange color, they'd say :-) - except the Dutch and perhaps the Brits. The Dutch love peanut butter and calls it Pindakaas - peanut cheese! Now, if you go down under to Oz and NZ, you should try their favorite spreads down there - marmite and vegimite. Now, these are really something :-) Nutella is a favorite all over Europe, not only in Italy.

The product is made close to where I live here in Alba by Ferrero, famous of course for their "Ferrero Rocher" chocolate range. Most of the local hazelnut production goes toward making Nutella, however its still not enough and the company now imports hazelnuts from countries such as Turkey to cope with demand. When the wind blows in a certain direction you can smell the Nutella being made all over Alba. Seriously! Most shops selling ice cream offer a Nutella topping and restaurants offer a desert based on the product. Ferrero also make other products that include Tic Tac and pocket coffee. The company itself employs about 4000 local people and contributes greatly to the local economy.
