Why is it that anything slathered with Nutella seems so insanely delicious? Spread it on crusty bread or in folded tortillas cut into triangles. Try it on grilled pineapples or baked bananas. Build it into cookies, muffins and even smoothies--that rich hazelnut creme with a hint of cocoa is the sweet tooth's ultimate friend. Well, it was mine until I discovered Finetti.
Admittedly, Nutella has become a luxurious snack at P130.10 for a 400g bottle. Maybe because hazelnuts are costly. Or because Italian products are expensive to import. Maybe it's because Nutella is from the mighty confectionery manufacturer, Ferrero.
Whatever the case may be, a trip to the grocery (in this case, Robinsons Supermarket) will reveal alternatives. Compare...
Finetti is a little known brand from Romania. But hey, who says Romanians can't make a tasty product? At 56% the price of the leading brand, you won't know the difference when you bite into that slice of bread. Yum, yum.
