Ferrero Hanuta Riegel

Hanuta Riegel is a popular hazelnut-wafer snack bar produced by the Italian confectionery giant Ferrero. The brand 'Hanuta' is actually an abbreviation for 'Haselnusstafel' (hazelnut bar), and it was first introduced in Germany in 1959. While the original Hanuta consists of a square wafer sandwich, the 'Riegel' version, shown in the image, is a format variation that includes milk cream and nuts covered in chocolate.

Ferrero, the ultimate owner, is one of the world's largest chocolate and confectionery companies, famous for brands like Nutella and Ferrero Rocher. The Hanuta brand specifically has deep roots in the German market where it is manufactured at major Ferrero production sites, such as the facility in Stadtallendorf. Today, Ferrero remains a family-owned multinational firm based in Italy, though its operations and specialized product manufacturing are spread across Europe and the globe.
