Something is up with Javascript for me today...can't quote anything or edit posts.Anyways.I am a huge fan of Justin's products. IMO, if you are a big fan of peanut butter in general, you will like theirs :) I can polish off a jar of the hazelnut butter in under a few days...LOL

Well, the Kroger I went to doesn't appear to carry Justin's PB - but the chocolate hazelnut butter is... fucking phenomenal! :D

absolutely delicious. Just right. Quite a bit different, but in all the right ways imho.

Now, onto another concern: can I get it cheaper than $10/pint? Almost unreasonably expensive, but worthy thus far as a treat.
Just put some on a crescent roll left over from dinner. Excellent. :)

What about a class-action lawsuit against lawyers that start class-action lawsuits?

Sign me up. Those lawyers are making things more expensive and causing stress which can be deadly.

There's nothing wrong with Nutella if eaten in moderation.

very few people ate nutella on bread thinking it was a treat, if they did then they probably woulda chosen ice cream instead.

I have found it on Amazon.com, but even with Prime it is still $28 for a case of three. Not much savings. I only buy it about once a month because yeah... 10 bones is pretty insane! But, I seriously enjoy it more than Nutella. Nutella is too sweet :colbert: but I think that is why people like it :biggrin:

Amounts in the UK version are slightly different, although it could just be a different way of showing them (dried as opposed to wet ingredients or something).

Italian Nutella uses veggie oil and skim cocoa and US version uses Palm oil and just cocoa. Italian whey is powdered while US whey is reduced mineral, no mentioned of being powdered. Also, fake vanilla (vannillin) used in US version, although the Italian version mentions "aromi" which are "aromas", not sure what italian law says about labeling food ingredients and whether or not is artificial.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if those ingredients were the same but the laws about how ingredients are listed differs in different countries so they are written differently.

They are not the same viscosity, so there's gotta be some difference somewhere.

Nutella is really sensitive to how it's been stored. I've had jars that have been exposed to temperature extremes and they have had a very different texture.

What I find interesting is that the serving size is less than half the US jar. 15g vs 37g.

That's 80 calories vs 200 per serving.

I always laugh at those serving sizes. How much is 15g of nutella? A teaspoon or two? Does anyone seriously weigh out their spread before using it?

I used a spoon to scoop out some, put it in a dish and dip soda crackers in it :biggrin:

I prefer a colloquial measurement along with an accurate one. I give a close estimate because my daughter's diabetic. I need to know how many carbs are involved for insulin purposes.

I can see the need for accurate measurements, but they should do them per 100g rather than per random amount.
