It’s a lot like Nutella, but pareve.
Now, Parvella’s been named Best in Show in the annual new-product competition that precedes Kosherfest, the giant industry expo that ran last week in Secaucus, New Jersey.
An Italian product, Parvella is part of a big wave of kosher products from around the world to gain popularity Stateside. In addition to being dairy free (it’s certified vegan), it’s also free of palm oil. In addition to the most Nutella-like choclolate-hazelnut variety, the chocolate spread also comes flavored with orange, coffee and hazelnut-vanilla.
You’ll find the entire megillah of new product winners here.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
