The spread in the picture, as per the label, contains 60% hazelnuts, 10% cocoa and the rest must be sugar (~30%), but the percentage isn’t mentioned explicitly.
Math aint my strong suit either.
But it clearly tastes way better and other products in the same category (piemont hazelnut spread) taste very similar.
Thus I don’t care enough to not buy it. It’s not healthy to eat anyway and is bought for taste dn enjoyment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nuts and cocoa also contain sugars, which make up the 5%. Those are the nutritional values, which state the total content - there is already some sugar in the contents before the sugar is added.
Hazelnuts have ~60℅ fat, so that spread is still 35% suagr and 35% fat overall. Definetly better than the added palm oil in in nutella, but the health difference is pretty minor.
I’m fact if we go by calories per serving, yours should be worse since fat is more energy dense than sugar.
(But yes, the taste is definetly better and I would much rather have that at least contains mainly hazelnuts)
Nutrition is so confusing. Giving broad categories such as healthy or not healthy deserves way more nuance. Sure, if someone is sitting around all day every day, going crazy on a jar of this it’s usually unadvisable. But if you’re out hiking for the day, or going for a day’s mountain run, this would be an extremely good idea to take.
Strange…My hazelnut spread doesnt contain that…
Just as if it’s just cheap shit^(Sadly it costs three times as much for half the volume. But it tastes 10 times better)
10% cocoa, 35% sugar.
Nutella prides itself on the low cocoa content, but the buttload of sugar is everywhere.
Hm…my spread (in the picture) says 60% hazelnut and 35% sugar…

of 100g, 40g are carbohydrate of which 35g is sugar.
Aka 35%
It doesn’t math. You can’t have 105% of the spread in the tub.
The label clearly says 60% hazelnuts + 10% cocoa. So that’s already 70%. How do you squeeze in 35% of sugar in there?
Something is wrong with that label. I don’t trust anything it says anymore. But more likely I’m just dumb at math and nutrition.
Does cocoa or hazelnuts contain sugar naturally and that’s why it goes to 35%, meaning 5% of hazelnut or cocoa content is actually sugar.
Hazelnuts have about 4-5% sugar in them, so it maths out perfectly to 100% total with 30% added sugar.

Mine doesn’t either, because, yanno, it isn’t Nutella (it’s Nudossi)? This is about Nutella.
I am communicating that there are way better spreads to buy that arent 60% sugar and taste better.
Nutella is AI slop but for bread.
Not sure if I’d trust a brand that can’t spell “Milchspuren”.
Italian brand that exports to Germany.
Probably not even meant for the german market but rather german speaking part of Italy and was imported.
