I am looking for a vegan chocolate spread that tastes similiarly to Nutella which would be available in the UK. I am open to some differences in taste, but I would ideally want something with comparable level of sweetness as Nutella has. Product can be available only online, but it should ship across the UK without expensive delivery charges.
Sustainable ingredients or those that avoid hydrogenated or saturated fat would be a plus.

Solkiki (in Dorset) is owned and operated by Iris and Bob, both vegans. Everything they make is vegan. It's also ethically sourced and award-winning. They are a real treasure.
They make a Hazelnut Chocolate Spread and a bar with the flavor profile you're asking about:
Spread at Hazelnut Chocolate Spread
Bar at 35% Hazelnut Cream - White Gianduja with Piedmont Hazelnuts
So, Solkiki is just about the best place to find artisan, always vegan, bean-to-bar (not industrial) chocolate and is dedicated to doing good in the world and making your taste buds happy. I also think they are flavor wizards who are exceptionally creative.
