It's basically a sort of soft white bread that's mildly sweet. While it IS a white bread, I find that it does have a bit more texture and is a little more chewy than regular Wonder-style bread. It really isn't overly sweet or anything, but just enough to be noticable. It also makes REALLY good french toast,although you've got to cut it pretty thick, as it gets kind of fragile when it's thin.

From what I've noticed, it's not all that tough to find. Grocery stores typically stock it near the deli section and not the bread section for some strange reason, and I've seen it by the deli sections in those big Wal-Marts that have grocery stores in them. Whenever I do get the stuff, I usually get a loaf like the one I linked, which is one big unsliced chunk. They also sell little square dinner rolls that taste exactly the same, as well as wheat rolls that I haven't gotten around to trying yet.

As far as how it works with Nutella, I've found that the sweetness of the nutella really works well with the sweetness of the bread (although the combination kicks the already-borderline Nutella well into "dessert" territory), and as long as you don't get a loaf that's too close to its expiration date, the softness of the bread and the sort of chewy-gumminess of the Nutella makes a really good texture.
