A Savory Nutella CrepeNutella is a sweet spread which lends itself to multiple uses. The traditional Italian way to eat it is spread on a slice of crusted bread ("pane e Nutella"), but it may be spread upon a variety of supports, including sandwiches, biscuits, and pretzels. It is also frequently used as a flavouring ingredient in baked sweets. In many French cities, Nutella-filled crêpes are available, often accompanied by sliced fruit such as bananas or strawberries. These are also available in Italy (minus the fruit), where however Nutella-filled croissants are more popular.

Nutella and ToastIn its home country of Italy, Nutella has become a cultural and social phenomenon. Many books have been written about it, and it is the core of a celebrated scene in the movie Bianca, by the Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti, in which a character relieves his post-coital anxieties by eating from a gigantic Nutella jar.

Nutella is also very popular in the rest of Europe, Canada, in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and South Africa, mostly with children and teenagers. This is less true in the United States, where the product was only available as an expensive import until the 2000s. In the United States, basketball star Kobe Bryant was a former spokesman for Nutella, having grown up in Italy. Nutella is briefly mentioned in Chloé Doutre-Roussel's "The Chocolate Connoisseur", which includes an anecdote of her mother flying into Mexico with several jars and smearing it on her face to convince a Customs Officer that it was a facial mask, and not a banned food product.
