A Change of State
Nutella is defined by its form. It is a spread, a semi-liquid famous for its soft, scoopable texture. This concept from UK Snack Attack reimagines the product in a completely different physical state: a solid, sliceable block.
The mockup presents the familiar hazelnut spread in a foil-wrapped oblong, packaged in a cardboard sleeve much like a block of butter or cooking chocolate. This isn’t just a packaging change. It implies a fundamental reformulation of the product itself, turning it from a spread into a solid-at-room-temperature ingredient. The wrapper shows distinct, clean-edged slices placed on bread, suggesting a firm consistency that could be cut with a simple kitchen knife. This moves it into a new category. It could be used like a slice of cheese in a sandwich, or potentially grated over desserts as a finishing touch.
The Current Nutella Range
In the UK, Ferrero has expanded the Nutella brand well beyond the original jar. The current lineup is built around on-the-go snacking and baked goods. There are Nutella B-Ready bars, which are filled wafer fingers, and the popular Nutella & Go pots, which pair the spread with breadsticks for dipping. More recently, the company launched Nutella Biscuits, sandwiching the classic spread between two crunchy biscuits.
What these products have in common is that they deliver the familiar spread in a convenient, pre-portioned format. A sliceable block would be a departure from this strategy. Instead of being a finished snack, it would be a versatile ingredient, putting the creative application back in the hands of the consumer. It would be the first truly new format for the core product since the jar itself became a global staple.
Frequently asked questions
- Could you make a Nutella block at home?
- You can make spreadable Nutella firmer by chilling it, but it doesn’t become cleanly sliceable. Creating a solid block that holds its shape at room temperature would likely require adding different setting agents or adjusting the fat composition of the original recipe.
- What products does Nutella actually sell in the UK?
- Besides the iconic spread in a jar, the official UK range includes Nutella B-Ready, Nutella & Go, and Nutella Biscuits. These products focus on portable, ready-to-eat snacks.
- Is the Nutella Sliceable Block real?
- No, this is a Snackfish. It is a mockup created by the online page UK Snack Attack. The product is a design concept and is not manufactured by Ferrero or sold anywhere.
