Nocilla is a popular chocolate spread brand originating from Spain. It is often compared to Nutella, a similar product of Italian origin. Nocilla is produced by the Spanish company Nutrexpa, and it has been a staple in Spanish households since its introduction in 1967.

History

Nocilla was first introduced to the Spanish market in 1967 by the company Nutrexpa. The product was created as a response to the growing popularity of chocolate spreads in Europe, particularly Nutella, which was gaining a significant market share in Spain. Nutrexpa aimed to create a product that would appeal to the Spanish palate while also being competitive in terms of price and quality.

Ingredients

The main ingredients of Nocilla include sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, skimmed milk powder, and soy lecithin. The product is available in three varieties: Nocilla Original, Nocilla Duo, and Nocilla White. Nocilla Original is a blend of chocolate and hazelnuts, Nocilla Duo is a combination of chocolate and vanilla flavors, and Nocilla White is a white chocolate spread.

Popularity

Nocilla has become a cultural icon in Spain, with its popularity extending beyond the country's borders. It is often used in a variety of Spanish desserts and snacks, such as churros and bocadillos. The brand's catchy jingle, "Nocilla, qué merendilla", has also contributed to its widespread recognition.

Controversies

In recent years, Nocilla has faced criticism for its use of palm oil, a controversial ingredient due to its environmental impact. In response to these concerns, Nutrexpa announced in 2017 that it would be removing palm oil from its Nocilla recipe.
