Why it's worth it

Created in 1967 for the Spanish market, Nocilla is one of the most nostalgic Spanish sweets, a breakfast-and-birthday staple for anyone who was a child in Spain. It plays the role Nutella does elsewhere, so it is worth trying as the Spanish icon rather than a shelf upgrade: one candy reviewer was blunt that Nocilla is a fine spread, but it's not as good as Nutella.

Taste

Chocolate-hazelnut spread; sweet and cocoa-forward, a touch less nutty than Nutella according to reviewers

Nutella is the direct analog and is available in CZ; Nocilla is the Spanish equivalent brand, worth it for the cultural icon rather than a taste upgrade
