Ferrero Hanuta Haselnuss-Schnitte

Hanuta is a popular snack brand consisting of a hazelnut cream filling with small hazelnut pieces sandwiched between two crisp wafers. The name itself is an abbreviation of the German term 'Haselnuss-Schnitte' (Hazelnut Slice). The product was first introduced in 1959 and has since become one of the most recognizable treats in the European confectionery market.

Historically, Hanuta's roots are firmly planted in Germany, where the brand was developed and launched. Today, it remains a staple of the Ferrero Group's portfolio, with primary production facilities located in Stadtallendorf, Germany. While it is synonymous with German snack culture, its distribution and manufacturing are part of Ferrero's global supply chain infrastructure.

The brand is owned by the Ferrero Group, a multinational confectionery company founded by Pietro Ferrero in Italy. Ferrero has grown from a local pastry shop to one of the largest chocolate and confectionery producers in the world, holding other iconic brands such as Nutella, Kinder, and Ferrero Rocher. The company remains privately held by the Ferrero family and is headquartered in Luxembourg for its corporate operations, with its historical heart in Alba, Italy.
