==History== [[Pietro Ferrero]] owned a bakery in [[Alba, Piedmont|Alba]], an Italian town known for the production of hazelnuts. In 1946, he sold the initial {{convert|300|kg|lb|adj=on}} batch of ''Pasta Gianduja'', derived from ''[[Gianduja (chocolate)|gianduja]]''. Originally sold as a solid block, Ferrero started to sell a creamy version in 1951 as ''Supercrema gianduja''.<ref name="history3">{{cite web|first=Adriel |last=Carridice |url= http://www.nutellausa.com/history3.htm |title=The History of Nutella (3) |website=NutellaUSA.com |access-date=2013-01-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518022437/http://www.nutellausa.com/history3.htm|archive-date=18 May 2015}}</ref> In 1963, Ferrero's son [[Michele Ferrero]], alongside [[Francesco Rivella]], revamped ''Supercrema gianduja'' with the intention of marketing it throughout Europe. Its composition was modified, and it was renamed "Nutella". The first jar of Nutella left the factory in Alba on April 20, 1964. The product was an instant success and remains widely popular.<ref>{{cite web|first=Adriel |last=Carridice |url=http://www.nutellausa.com/history2.htm |title=The History of Nutella (2) |website=NutellaUSA.com |access-date=2013-01-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151021173432/http://www.nutellausa.com/history2.htm|archive-date=21 October 2015}}</ref> In 2012, French senator [[Yves Daudigny]] proposed a tax increase on [[palm oil]] from €100 to €400 per tonne.
