Review: Nutella

Hazelnut chocolate goodness.

Simply delicious.

Now that I am gluten-free, I indulge in some foods I might previously have skipped. It's not always smart to keep looking for "GF versions" of the same foods I have loved for  40+ years/ Sometimes I have to look at what has always been gluten-free.


Nutella makes a huge difference on a less-than-stellar GF english muffin or on boring slice of toasted GF bread.

Storage tip: the label will tell you to store in a cool place - do it. It will get runny in warm temperatures and rock hard in the fridge.

From the Nutella Web site:

Is Nutella® gluten free?

Nutella® does not contain any ingredients derived from gluten containing cereals: wheat, barley, rye, oats or triticale.

That's not a rousing gluten-free guarantee, so if you're celiac, you may want to avoid it. I am very sensitive to gluten and have had no symptoms, so I indulge happily!
