Manufacturer data. The figures for Nutella come from the manufacturer’s nutrition label, not from USDA laboratory analysis. Recipes and labels differ between countries and change over time, so check the pack you have.
Nutella hazelnut spread has 539 kcal (2,252 kJ) per 100 g, close to chocolate itself. More than half of its weight is sugar, 56 g per 100 g, and almost a third is fat, mainly from palm oil and hazelnuts. That makes it one of the most energy-dense spreads you can put on toast, even though a single portion looks small.

Things worth knowing
- Ferrero's European portion is 15 g, about one heaped teaspoon, which has 80 kcal (336 kJ). The US label uses 2 tablespoons (37 g) at 200 kcal.
- Hazelnuts make up only around 13% of the recipe; sugar and palm oil are the main ingredients, so it is closer to a chocolate spread than a nut butter.
- Compared with smooth peanut butter, Nutella has about 40% less fat but roughly six times the sugar and only a quarter of the protein.
- A slice of white toast (about 25 g) with a 15 g portion comes to roughly 150 kcal in total.
