Nudossi (German pronunciation: [nuˈdɔsi]) is a brand of sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread manufactured by the Saxon and Dresdner baking and confectionery GmbH & Co. KG ,formerly known as Vadossi.[2] In its plastic container with a red lid, Nudossi is the manufacturer's best-known product. Well known as a product during the German Democratic Republic (GDR), it was often compared to Nutella which had been widely available outside the Communist bloc since 1965. In 1972, the company was nationalized and production was discontinued after German reunification, as demand initially dropped.
Production of Nudossi would begin again in spring of 1999 after a pause in production which lasted several years, largely due to Ostalgie over the product among former East German residents. Nudossi is often known as "Ost-Nutella" ("East (German) Nutella"),[3] despite the fact that the recipe today differs vastly from the recipe used in the GDR. Nudossi has a hazelnut content of 36% compared to Nutella's 13%. The recipe was adjusted at the end of 2016 so that it now contains less fat (from 35 g to 32 g) and more sugar (from 46 g to 50 g). Since April 2017, palm oil-free nut nougat cream has also been sold in 300 g jars.[4]
Other spreads such as the chocolate-nut-coconut cream "Naschi" and the milk-cocoa cream "Nu Pagadi" as well as marzipan bread, Baumkuchen, Dresden Christmas stollen and wafers come from the same manufacturer. The company has 35 employees and a turnover of 12 million euros a year. A total of 4.5 million jars and tubs of cream are delivered every year.[5]
