Nutella’s coming to your favorite coffee shop

Items with hazelnut will be available next week

By Jean-Paul McDonald, Farms.com

Tim Hortons Canada announced today that starting next week, April 15, the national icon will be offering customers a variety of products featuring Nutella, the popular chocolate hazelnut spread.

The coffee shop’s Nutella products will include a chocolate-hazelnut doughnut filled with the chocolatey nut spread, pastry pockets filled with Nutella, as well as offer Nutella as a spread option for bagels. The Nutella products at Tim Hortons will be offered for a limited time only, so if you’re a Nutella lover, be sure to get yours before the products disappear from the menu on June 9.

Over the last few years, we’ve reported a variety of news surrounding hazelnut farming, including the global shortage of the nut due to poor weather in August, 2014 and more recently, the increase of hazelnut production in Ontario back in December. In 2013, 40 acres of hazelnuts were grown in the province, followed by 100 acres the following year. In 2015, it is predicted that upwards of 600 acres of the nut will be grown.

With hazelnut production on the rise in the province, and a national coffee shop chain introducing Nutella on its menu, we might be seeing a lot more of the nut around.
