Nudossi is a brand-name of a hazelnut bread spread manufactured by the company Vadossi.
In its plastic container with a red lid, Nudossi is the most well-known product of the Vadossi company. Well-known as a product during the German Democratic Republic, the production of Nudossi began again in the spring of 1999 after a pause in production which lasted several years. Nudossi is often known as 'Ost-Nutella' ('East German Nutella), despite the fact that the recipe today differs vastly from the recipe used in the German Democratic Republic. Nudossi contains 36 % hazelnuts in comparison to Nutella which contains 13 % hazelnuts.

[edit] Producer
The company Vadossi has been in existence since 1923 in Radebeul near Dresden. The company went bankrupt and was purchased in 1994 by the company Sächsischen Spezialitäten Hartmann GbR. This company has produced Nudossi again since 1999. Because credit institutions would not offer the "Sächsische Spezialitäten Hartmann GbR for the raw ingredients of Christmas confectionaries, the company was forced to declare bankruptcy on 25 July 2005. After receiving financial assistance, the company was able to resume production on 8 August 2005. Companies that are currently interested in purchasing the bankrupt Vadossi include Dr. Quendt Backwaren, die Halloren Schokoladenfabrik and Dr. Doerr Feinkost.
[edit] Brand-name history
After the original DDR-era trademark of the name 'Nudossi' expired, the Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk renewed the trademark in 1996. In the spring of 1999 the trademark name was sold to the Sächsische Spezialitäten Hartmann GbR
