Please Note: it’s important to note that many store-bought Nutella products contain palm oil, which is linked to deforestation and habitat destruction for many animal species. By making your own Nutella at home, you can control the ingredients and choose sustainable options. Also, when choosing ingredients, select palm oil-free coconut oil and cocoa powder. This not only supports the conservation of natural habitats but also helps to promote ethical and sustainable agricultural practices.
