Why it's worth it

Merenda was the first hazelnut praline spread in Greece and is the Greek equivalent to Nutella, a household classic loved for generations. Fans call it smooth, creamy and deeply nostalgic, some insisting it is even better than Nutella. Made by Pavlidis, it is a Greece-market spread not sold in Czechia.

Taste

Soft cocoa-hazelnut praline spread; sweet, creamy and cocoa-forward, looser and more spreadable than Nutella
