Nutella launches new flavour for first time in 60 years but there's a catch
A new Nutella flavour is set to hit the shelves for the first time ever next spring 2026, but there's a catch - it won't be available worldwide but only in one country. Next Spring will be extra sweet thanks to Nutella 's brand new flavour for the first time in 60 years. It looks delicious, but there's a catch: it will only be available in the US. Who doesn't love chocolate? Nutella is the go-to chocolate spread for many of us, and it can be enjoyed in so many ways. Fancy a sandwich, a waffle or some freshly cut strawberries? And despite its huge popularity, the brand has never dropped a new flavour - until now. For the first time in six decades, Nutella will finally have another flavour, and it's peanut. In a press release, Ferrero announced: 'It combines the distinctive creaminess of Nutella Cocoa hazelnut spread with the delicious taste of roasted peanuts.' Available from Spring 2026, this iconic flavour will only be available for grabs in North America. There hasn't been any more information as to where to buy it, and its price, but US fans are in for a treat! Michel Lindsey, President and Chief Business of Ferrero North America, added: 'Developing Nutella and Ferrero Rocher products specifically for the North American market represents a defining moment in our company's history.' Beyond the vegan alternatives that have released recently, the new flavour will be its first since its 1964 launch. He added: 'These innovations will engage both loyal and new consumers, boosting our power brands and further solidifying our position as a category leader in North America.' A Plant-Based Nutella was launched in the UK in May 2025, with shoppers being able to get their hands on the 350g jar for £4 at Sainsbury's. Its flavour is the same as the original, keeping its famous hazelnut and cocoa flavour but with chickpeas and rice syrup. In another statement, Mathieu Maggi, marketing director of Nutella UK&I, Ferrero, explained: 'We developed this innovation to provide a delicious new choice that delivers the unmistakable Nutella experience in a plant-based version, replacing milk with vegetal ingredients without compromising on quality and taste.' The push to make a vegan version was due to the wave of plant-based dieters. Ferrero's research showed that 4.7% of UK adults, which is approximately 2.5 million people, follow a vegan diet. UK Nutella fans won't be able to get their hands on the new Peanut flavour - for now. Still, keep your eyes peeled for future announcements to avoid missing out on the latest Nutella and Ferrero news. In the meantime, why not try something new?

Nutella to launch first new flavour in 60-year history but there's a catch
The hazelnut spread is about to offer a never-before-seen flavour When it comes to chocolate spread, many of us automatically think of Nutella. A beloved staple since 1964, it's a tried and tested spread that has won the hearts of many. For the devoted fans amongst us, there's some delightful news, as there is about to be a brand new flavour, marking the first time it has offered something different in its 60-year history. The spread's parent company, Ferrero, recently released a statement that the chocolate icon will be available in a peanut flavour that has been slated for a spring 2026 release. However, there's a bit of a catch, as it is so far only set to go available within the USA. It's currently unclear if there will be plans to bring the peanut flavoured chocolate spread over to this side of the pond. As reported by the Sun, news of the never-before-seen flavour, that combines Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread with the taste of roasted peanuts, was unveiled in a recent Ferrero press statement. Michael Lindsey, president and chief business officer of Ferrero North America, said: "Developing Nutella and Ferrero Rocher products specifically for the North American market represents a defining moment in our company's history. "These innovations will engage both loyal fans and new consumers, boosting our power brands and further solidifying our position as a category leader in North America." The original Nutella is a spread made up of sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa solids and skimmed milk. In many countries, it is billed as a "hazelnut cream" and not a "chocolate cream" due to the lower quantity of cocoa in the recipe. The firm branched out into a plant-based version with the Vegan Nutella that was first launched last year to mark its 60th anniversary. Unlike the original spread, the vegan version boasts the same unique and creamy taste, but with chickpeas and rice making up as a substitute for the milk. While a 350g jar is currently only available to buy from Sainsbury's for £4, it is reportedly set to be rolled out to more supermarkets next year following a surge in demand for plant-based products.

Mathieu Maggi, marketing director Nutella UK&I, Ferrero, said: "For over 60 years, millions of people around the world have been enjoying the unique taste of Nutella, and we are excited to welcome even more consumers to the brand with the launch of Nutella Plant-Based. He further added that the vegan spread offered a "delicious new choice" with the same "unmistakable Nutella experience" for fans who wanted to try something different. It's not the only news to excite chocolate lovers recently, as Tesco shoppers were recently sent hunting in stores for the new Kinder Krispy Chocolate Bars after they were spotted in stores. The bars, which can be bought individually on their own for £1, or as part of a meal deal, boast Kinder's signature creamy milk and cocoa that has been layered with a crunchy cereal coating Meanwhile, Mars Wrigley also recently announced the return of its White Maltesers, which would be returning to supermarkets nationwide in sharing and single formats after being discontinued in 2014.
