Italy: A country of history, culture, and religion. A land of art, cinema, and music, filled with unique people. The land of the Etruscans, Greeks, and Romans. A country of the Franks, Popes, and Byzantines. A nation rich in cultural heritage, encompassing the world within itself. There are few who don’t dream of visiting Rome, Florence, and Venice, or who wouldn’t be excited by the idea of seeing firsthand the homes and strongholds of the Sicilians and the Italian Mafia.

When people talk about chocolate, everyone thinks of Switzerland. But perhaps not many know that Piedmont, one of Italy’s regions, has produced some of the finest chocolates in the world. When Napoleon’s wars swept across Europe, the connection between Italy and France was also affected. This event skyrocketed the price of one of Italy’s most delicious products—not cheese, not wine, but chocolate—in Turin, the capital of Piedmont. Suddenly, Piedmontese chocolate became a rare commodity.

A solution had to be found so that those accustomed to the high-quality and exquisite Piedmontese chocolate could still experience that same wonderful sensation in a new, special way and at a lower cost.

Hazelnut, yes, hazelnut—an abundant product—became the savior. Ferrero, by combining sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, and cocoa solids, created a unique and delightful treat that few could resist. If Ferrero had loved ice cream as much as we do, this combination would have brought joy and happiness to people much sooner.

The magical combination: Nutella ice cream.

But wait, what ice cream could possibly enhance the experience of eating Nutella, which has endured so much to reach us? Perhaps there’s only one ice cream that can capture all the elements of happiness and nostalgia, and that is none other than Hamana’s Nutella Hazelnut Hamilk.

When you take a spoonful of Hamana’s Nutella Hamilk and close your eyes, you feel as though you’re simultaneously sitting in the Colosseum and Persepolis, tasting history.
