Nocilla: the Spanish chocolate spread that tastes just like a traditional afternoon snack

There are products that aren’t just eaten: they’re remembered. And Nocilla is one of them. For many people, opening a jar of Nocilla is like going back to their childhood – to after-school snacks, to a sandwich made with love, to toast for breakfast, or to those little sweet treats that you always fancy.

Spain’s most popular cocoa and hazelnut spread has been a staple in the pantries of several generations. Its flavour, texture and image are deeply rooted in the memories of Spanish households.

The history of Nocilla: a classic since 1968

Nocilla was launched in Spain in 1968 and very quickly became a staple of breakfasts and afternoon snacks. Its famous combination of milk, cocoa, hazelnuts and sugar was etched into the collective memory thanks to an advertising campaign that defined an era.

For decades, Nocilla has been a staple for children, young people and adults alike. It has featured on sandwiches, toast, crêpes, impromptu snacks, at birthday parties, on school trips and at weekend breakfasts. That is precisely one of its greatest strengths: it is not just a cocoa spread, but a product closely linked to everyday moments.

Original Nocilla: the taste you’ve always known

Original Nocilla is the brand’s most recognisable product. Its cocoa and hazelnut spread is smooth, easy to spread and perfect for those looking for that classic, timeless flavour.

It’s ideal for making the classic Nocilla sandwich, but also for spreading on toast, pancakes, waffles, crêpes or homemade sponge cakes. What’s more, it can be used as an ingredient in sweet recipes: fillings, toppings, cakes, muffins or quick desserts.

At Your Spanish Shop, you can find Nocilla in a range of sizes, perfect for every household. If you eat it often or have children at home, the large sizes are a very practical option. If you prefer to treat yourself to it occasionally, the smaller sizes are perfect for enjoying it without taking up too much space in the cupboard.

Nocilla Chocoleche or Duo: two flavours in one jar

For those who don’t want to choose between chocolate spread and milk spread, Nocilla Chocoleche, also known as Nocilla Duo, is one of the most popular options.

This version combines two spreads in a single jar, creating that two-tone effect that many remember from their childhood. It’s a particularly appealing choice for afternoon snacks, sweet breakfasts or recipes where you’re looking for a more visually appealing result.

Nocilla 0% sugar: an alternative for different tastes

The Nocilla range also includes options designed for those looking for alternatives to the traditional recipe. Nocilla 0% sugar is one of them.

It retains the essence of a cocoa and hazelnut spread, but in a version adapted for those who prefer to reduce their sugar intake. It’s an interesting option for those who want to continue enjoying the taste of Nocilla at breakfast and as a snack, but are looking for a different variety.

You can enjoy it with bread, toast, rice cakes, fruit or use it in homemade recipes. As always, it’s best enjoyed as part of a varied diet and as one of those little sweet moments that brighten up your day.

Nocilla Noir: for lovers of intense flavour

Nocilla Noir is designed for those who prefer a more intense flavour. Its flavour is more pronounced than that of classic Nocilla, so it may particularly appeal to those who enjoy chocolates with more character.

It’s perfect as a spread, but also for pairing with fruits such as bananas, strawberries or apples. What’s more, it can be used in desserts where you want to achieve a deeper cocoa flavour.

If you like the classic Nocilla but fancy trying a different variety, Nocilla Noir could be a good choice for a change of pace without sacrificing the brand’s signature creamy texture.

Nocilla Cookies & Cream: a different kind of treat

The Cookies & Cream variety is one of Nocilla’s most modern offerings. It combines the brand’s creaminess with a flavour inspired by classic cream-filled biscuits.

It’s a real treat, ideal for special afternoon snacks, quick desserts or for those looking for something a bit different within the Nocilla range. It can be enjoyed on toast, with pancakes, in crêpes or even as a topping for ice cream and yoghurt.

It’s also a great option for adding a more original twist to sweet recipes. For example, you can use it to fill sponge cakes, decorate cupcakes or serve with fruit.
