The leader of Italy's far-right opposition party has said he is no longer a fan of Nutella after finding out the product was made with Turkish nuts.

Matteo Salvini, who lost his position as deputy Prime Minister in August in a political gambit aimed at securing greater power that saw his party ousted from government, has long used food as a symbol of national identity.

And while he regularly poses with espresso and shares images celebrating the nation's cuisine on social media, his League party's "Italians first" motto has seen politicians passionately defend products made in Italy as an extension of its populism.

Now he has told supporters he is no longer a fan of Nutella – the chocolate spread he once loved – arguing that manufacturer Ferrero should use Italian-grown hazelnuts instead of Turkish produce.

"I found out that Nutella uses Turkish nuts and I prefer to help companies that use Italian products," he said at a rally in the northern city of Ravenna on Thursday, after a woman suggested he have a sandwich.
