14 DAY TRIAL // According to a new report issued by OECD (the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), it takes over six countries to make one jar of the delicious, ambrosia-like sugary delight that people commonly refer to as Nutella.
This is because the main ingredients used to make Nutella come from five different countries, i.e. Nigeria provides the cocoa, the hazelnuts come from Turkey, France is in charge of supplying the vanilla, the sugar comes from Brazil and Malaysia supplies the palm oil.
What's more, the factories where these ingredients are combined with others in order to make Nutella are located in other countries.
As Grist explains, this means that at least six countries must work together to gift the world with one jar of this creamy, tasty treat.
Needless to say, the fact that the process of making Nutella involves people in at least six different parts of the world is not exactly eco-friendly, simply because transporting the ingredients and the resulting chocolate cream from one country to the other is bound to cause noteworthy pollution.
From this standpoint, it might be best if folks were to opt for chocolate creams that are locally produced.
