Welcome
Welcome to c/[email protected]. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.
What is Veganism?
'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'
— abridged definition from The Vegan Society

As someone out-of-the-loop here, do tell. I was hoping they might be out there, and I might give them a shot if they're vegan.
Edit: found one thanks to JubilantJaguar below.
They're made by a local supermarket chain here in Europe, one of their organic brands. They use sunflower oil instead of palm oil, and taste fantastic. Apart from that, just sugar, hazelnuts, cocoa, lecithin and vanilla. Maybe check organic supermarkets in your area?
Do you happen to know the product/ food name? That'd help track local or import options down.
There is a bakery near me that makes their own nutella. Apparently it's really good, but i don't like nutella to begin with, and it annoys me that it's a supplement for chocolate
a supplement for chocolate ? what do you mean ?
yea Nocciolata is my goto brand when I can't find Rapunzel, which is rarer https://www.rapunzel.de/en/spreads-nut-butters.html Their spreads usually have palm oil, though.
