Nocilla Chocoleche cocoa and nut spread

Nocilla is a widely recognized brand of cocoa and hazelnut spread that originated in Spain. It was launched in 1968 by the Spanish company Starlux, which sought to create a competitive alternative to other European chocolate spreads specifically for the Spanish market. The product is famous for its smooth texture and is often sold in iconic reusable glass jars, which have become a staple in Spanish households.

Today, the brand is owned and manufactured by Idilia Foods, a major Spanish food company. Idilia Foods was formed following the demerger of the Nutrexpa Group in 2015. The product remains primarily manufactured in Spain, specifically at the company's production facilities in Parets del Vallès, Barcelona. As a local leader in the confectionery category, Nocilla continues to be headquartered in Valencia, Spain, under the direct ownership of the Ferrero family through Idilia Foods.
