Nutella plant based: everything you need to know – Italian cuisine reinvented by Gordon Ramsay

La Cucina Italiana


We will eat plant based Nutella? The press rumors suggest this: the Turin edition of Corriere della Sera published a news report that Ferrero, the multinational company from Alba (Cuneo) that produces the famous spreadable cream, has registered the trademark «Nutella Plant Based namely vegetable Nutella, to the Italian patent office of the Ministry of Made in Italy.

Plant-based Nutella: the news that is going around the world

From here the rumor mill began: the news is now on news sites all over the world. If it were confirmed, moreover, it would be an epochal turning point in the world of the confectionery industry: theentry of a strong brand like Nutella into the world of plant-based food, in addition to probably delighting many consumers, it could create some headaches for hundreds of other companies around the world that have already sensed the deal in the plant-based segment and produce similar products. A rapidly growing market: according to Nielsen in Italy the sector is worth around 680 million euros and 5.8 billion in Europe.

Ferrero’s official statement

However, the company does not give certainties. In a statement released internationally from its registered office in Luxembourg, Ferrero made this known: «At Ferrero we constantly research and explore opportunities within new food trends, to respond to the needs and expectations of our consumers. Registering a trademark does not in itself confirm the launch of a product.

What does it mean? Basically Ferrero does not confirm, but to tell the truth it does not deny either. He points out an important legal detail, making it clear that if the patent had indeed been filed, it might not even be automatically linked to the launch of the new product. In its statement, however, the company simultaneously recalls its commitment to keeping up with the times. Which, in this case, could mean going towards each other to the needs of millions of consumers around the world who do not drink milk – contained in the Nutella recipe – due to intolerance problems, allergies, or because they have embraced a vegan diet. But also many others who simply want to change, perhaps only every now and then.

All the news about Nutella

Precisely for this reason if, in a few months, or years, this were to actually arrive Nutella plant based we wouldn’t be surprised, but on the contrary. Nutella is a brand symbolizing the innovation of the Italian companyborn thanks to the genius of Michele Ferrero, the founder, who sixty years ago – after a long series of products that are still iconic today (the Kinder egg, among many) – created this spreadable cream with hazelnuts and chocolate which has never lost popularity since then, but rather.

Suffice it to say that it is the only one to have a dedicated world day which is the Nutella Day: an idea from a fan, the then blogger Sara Rosso, which quickly became global and is celebrated every year on February 5th. Furthermore, as a tribute to her, as a symbol of Italian entrepreneurial excellence, a coin from the Italian Mint was created which represents a jar of Nutella.

If this new version of plant based Nutella actually arrived on supermarket shelves, it would be the latest in a long series. Over the years, in fact, Nutella has lent itself to various successful experiments, come on Nutella Biscuit to the Nutella Croissant, just born, which from January will be available in supermarkets: ready-made croissants to buy at the bakery counter or frozen to make at home. In short, let’s wait. Confident.

The January 6 it is a day especially awaited by the little ones, who can't wait to receive the famous sock, but on this last day of celebration we will not be satisfied only with chocolates, charcoal and candies. Even if there is no real Befana menu, there are some recipes that are almost never lacking on the tables of Italians.

What to cook at the Befana?

We say goodbye to the sumptuous holiday menus, because the day of the Epiphany will be characterized by simpler and more informal recipes, able to easily conquer the palate of young and old. In the first place there is the lasagna, in its classic version or stuffed with seasonal ingredients, as in the case of lasagna with cabbage and sausage. But even the cannelloni and baked pasta do their job, managing to immediately create a party atmosphere. Secondly, earthy flavors triumph once again, from roast beef to pork chops. And have you ever heard of the Befana stew? Similar to beef, but with a secret twist. The meat is blended with cognac and towards the end of cooking the unexpected aroma of bitter cocoa is added: a couple of spoons will be enough to create a sensational result. Clearly you can deviate from tradition and propose a more creative Befana menu: in the gallery above you will find many recipes of appetizers, first and second courses to celebrate with taste and joy. [cn_read_more id=”186406″]

What to cook at the Befana: typical sweets

Finally, the time for desserts, not just those that fill the coveted stocking. In Piedmont, for example, you prepare the fugassa d'la befana, a cake of sweet brioche bread with candied fruit that hides a surprise inside. In Venetoinstead, it's time for the pinsa della Befana, a kind of polenta pizza made with corn flour and dried or candied fruit. In southern Italy, even during the Epiphany, the traditional sweets of the holidays are tasted, in particular the cartellate Pugliesi and i pepatelli from Abruzzo. In addition to chocolates and candies, the stocking can also be filled with biscuits, such as the Tuscan befanini or the cavallucci di Siena. For the most naughty children, a few pieces of charcoal cannot be missing, obviously very sweet, especially if prepared at home with our recipe.

What can the good old woman put in the sock of those who cannot consume gluten? Obviously you can select desserts of all kinds among the gluten free guarantee products. Or it can be done in home. Obviously, a leading role can be played by fruit, fresh (oranges and tangerines always give color and scent) or dry. And then you can add chocolate and candies, taking care to select them among the "safe" ones. The extra touch, however, what will not make you feel the lack of other products not tolerated, is the realization of small home made delights. Here are some greedy and completely gluten-free ideas

Puffed rice chocolates, pistachios and pine nuts

It starts by melting, separately, 150 g of dark chocolate, 150 g of milk chocolate and 150 g of white chocolate. In a bowl, mix 60 g of safe puffed rice with the same number of shelled pistachios and pine nuts. Each type of chocolate incorporates one third of the mixed rice and dried fruit, then arrange the mixture obtained in well-spaced piles on one or more trays lined with baking paper. Put the sweets in the refrigerator to cool until the chocolate has solidified, before transferring them to colored tins or food bags.

meringues

It seems like a complex preparation, but it is not, it only takes a little time. After weighing them, whisk the egg whites of 4 eggs until stiff, with a pinch of salt. We will proceed first at low speed, then gradually at ever higher speed. Got one very swollen and soft mass, a quantity of sugar equal to double the weight of the egg whites is added, little by little. Continue to work until the mixture is firm and shiny. It is placed in bows with a pastry bag on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and baked in the oven at 80 ° C for about 4 hours. [cn_recipe id=”226240″]

Marzipan treats

Finely chop 150 g of almonds and mix them with the same sugar, a teaspoon of orange flower water and 2 tablespoons of unmounted egg white. Work to obtain a firm mixture, adding more egg white if necessary. Divide the mixture into balls, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest overnight, then brush them with egg white and brown them in the oven at 250 ° C for about 10 minutes. [cn_recipe id=”216154″]

Candied peels

To prepare the candied peel, you must first peel some oranges and cut the peel into sticks. After putting them in a saucepan, cover them with cold water, bring to a boil and drain. Repeat this operation 4 times, then put the peels back into the saucepan and sprinkle them with sugar: for the peel of 4 oranges, calculate 4 or 5 tablespoons of sugar. Add a little water and boil them until they are candied. Let them dry before packing: if you like, you can dip them in chocolate melted dark chocolate, then let them dry again. [cn_recipe id=”112398″]

Crisp

Briefly toast 500 g of almonds in the oven (or if you prefer hazelnuts, pistachios, or mixed dried fruit). Put 300 g of sugar and a little water in a saucepan, bring to low heat and prepare a rather dark caramel. Pour the dried fruit into the caramel, remove immediately from the heat and pour the mixture into a pan greased with oil. Level with a spatula and let the brittle cool, then cut it into pieces.

The panettone to give as a gift based on the zodiac sign – Italian Cuisine

The panettone to give as a gift based on the zodiac sign


With chocolate, pistachio, wild berries, white chocolate, and still other delicious panettone to give and treat yourself: do we choose based on the horoscope?

Who invented the panettone? The Milanese have no doubts: they invented it and for love, among other things. The love is that of Messer Ulivo degli Atellani for the baker’s daughter, Algisa. Even the Swiss, however, have their say and come up with the legend of an ingenious scullery boy, Toni precisely, hence the name "Panettone" or "Toni's bread". Whatever its origin, we haven't stopped arguing about the panettone today: with hazelnut glaze, without candied fruit, with chocolate, without raisins, stuffed and enriched up to declared offenders who even prefer pandoro. We all agree on one thing: it is held on the radiator for half an hour before eating it. To try to put some order, here is the advice of a panettone by zodiac sign, to give as a gift or treat yourself!

Aries

Your zodiac sign is symbolically linked to the red color which is also the color of Mars, the planet that rules Aries. And since red is also the color of Christmas, don't we even want to put some in the panettone? Fortunately, one of the most popular variations of the dessert is that with berries which give it a beautiful amaranth color in the mixture.

Bull

Since you don't like arguing at all, especially at Christmas, you will get two panettone (at least): one traditional and one with chocolate chips instead of candied fruit … which is what makes you go back to the memories of when you were a child and you used to remove all the candied fruit with your little fingers. But do you know that February 3 is San Biagio and in the morning it would be traditional to eat a last slice of panettone to protect us from a sore throat? I remind you since you are the zodiac sign linked to this part of the body.

Twins

It will be the curious spirit or maybe it will be the irrepressible and mischievous desire to always do the "contrary bastian" but if there is a strangeness you are sure to get greedy. In Genoa there is a variant of the traditional panettone which is called "pandolce": it is without raisins and candied fruit but with pine nuts, the increasingly rare seeds typical of Liguria. What do you say, let's try it?

Cancer

In your case, sugars are never enough, especially at Christmas time when the greatest pleasure is having a snack in front of the fireplace with the sofa cover, socks and the TV that sends the same Disney cartoon you saw when you were a child. So I would say that your panettone can also hold an extra sweetness like the ai version marrons glacés with lots of chestnut cream. Then diet!

Lion

Did you know Leone that a panettone was created specifically for Pius XI around the end of the 1800s? It was shaped like a mushroom, very leavened and very high, so much so that a carriage was needed to transport it. Soft and above all regal because in your case even the Christmas cake is better than not going unnoticed. Obviously it is good that it comes strictly accompanied with bubbles that rebalance the taste of the dessert.

Virgin

The simplicity that you like to surround yourself with, even at the table, sometimes borders on minimalism. “Essential and pure” also applies to panettone: but how about trying it Piedmontese variant? It is quite low, without candied fruit and raisins but has (at least) a hazelnut and sugar glaze. It seems to me a good compromise between your "virginity" and the sneakiness of the typical dessert of the Christmas holidays.

Weight scale

When you manage to let your love for the more classic tradition run out of your way, dear Libra, you will gladly abandon yourself to the intoxicating pleasure of a slightly alcoholic flavor like that of panettone with limoncello. Because we know that if you are the sign in the constant search for balance, you are also the sign most attracted to opposites: a winter dessert and a cream that tastes like summer evenings.

Scorpio

Teasing is your strong Scorpio, even when it comes to the palate … Because you know that eros and food go hand in hand, right? Even in astrological symbolism. This is why I believe you can appreciate a truly creative variant of panettone, called 'ndujattone. A high quality baked product that respects the tradition … of Calabrian 'nduja! Spicy, just like you.

Sagittarius

The love for experimentation and the curiosity in mixing different flavors and distant origins is truly irresistible for you. Therefore? Even on the panettone it is possible to digress on the traditional theme: I propose a classic dough but with the addition of pistachio true Sicilian and some icing al White chocolate.

Capricorn

You really don't want to hear reasons, Capricorn. You are one of solid principles and a lover of traditions, even the culinary ones and you can't joke about panettone: you order it at Sant'Ambrogio (also known as December 7th) in the best pastry shop in the city and you can pick it up on the afternoon of the 24th by queuing up because this is also part of the tradition. It takes candied fruit, raisins, slow leavening and resting upside down after cooking. Indeed, you almost ask the baker for a small photo report!

aquarium

If there is one who is willing to go beyond traditions, it is you, dear Aquarius. So you take off the candied fruit yes – candied fruit no and open another one, even more sour and fierce: panettone or pandoro? Indeed, since you like to be a leader against the trend, you will be the leader of the faction of lovers of Pandoro. Always pastry, mind you, and maybe even enriched with sugars (as if it were needed) with an excellent homemade mascarpone cream.

Fish

Even with the legs under the table for you the storytelling (of the products) is invaluable … Nothing should be taken for granted and the impossible combinations remind you of the hindered loves of fairy tales. That's why I thought I'd suggest a really exciting mix of flavors like the homemade panettone with caramel and black Himalayan salt: when sweet and savory know how to find a magical and indissoluble bond.
