It’s finally here: Nutella Plant-Based is now available in the Netherlands too. Yes, after more than 60 years, the OG of chocolate spreads, the success story that began in Alba, Italy, in 1964, now has a vegan version too. It was already available in Italy and Belgium, and now it’s available in the Netherlands too. We’ll tell you where to get it, how much it costs and whether it’s just as tasty as the original.

The plant-based version: exactly like the original Nutella

If you thought vegan Nutella would be missing something, think again. You open that green lid and its fragrant, creamy character immediately meets you. And as for the texture? Exactly like the Nutella you’ve always known. It’s that same smooth, silky spread that’s perfect for spreading on your sandwich. But the big surprise? It’s made with chickpeas and rice syrup instead of milk, and is 100% plant-based and lactose-free. This is the Nutella vegans have always wanted.

Taste: better than you expected

If you think plant-based means less tasty… think again! This new vegan variety may even seem a touch nuttier and slightly creamier than the classic version. The taste comes incredibly close to the original Nutella – it may even be just a little tastier (but that stays between us). So, if you thought you’d have to miss Nutella for a plant-based lifestyle, this new variety has already won over your heart and taste buds.

You no longer have to search for an alternative that is “worth it” – this vegan Nutella really is.

Where to buy vegan Nutella: Albert Heijn and Jumbo

Whether you spread it on your bread, use it as a topping for your favorite sweet dish, or (be honest) simply eat it straight from the jar, Nutella is a worldwide favorite – now among vegans too. If you’re already putting on your shoes to run to the store, we feel you!

Not exactly cheap

Nutella Plant-Based is available from this week at Albert Heijn and Jumbo in a 350-gram jar. It costs 4.99 – a euro more than the regular variety, which isn’t exactly cheap either. But as a vegan who loves Nutella, you’ll probably think it’s worth it.
