First, thank you for all for voicing your opinion. According to the commenting readers of A Foreign Land the correct pronunciation is “nuh-tella.” This was decided in a vote of 14 “nuh –ters” and 10 “new-ters.”
However, I couldn’t rest with that answer. Most importantly I couldn’t stand to believe that I had been pronouncing it wrong for all these years. And secondly, I'm not sure I got a random sampling or that it was a fair count – considering the inordinate amount of Canadians visiting the blog that day. I LOVE YOU CANADIANS!!! KEEP COMING BACK. I needed a more definitive answer.
I went straight to the source. It was originally my intention to send the corporate office an email asking for the proper pronunciation. But that step wasn’t necessary. Check out the corporate website:
Right there for all of the world to see on their “faq” page is the correct way to say nutella!
“new-tell-uh”
There are two reasons why this is so joyous for me. First, because I have an answer that I believe to be straight from the horse’s mouth. Second, because I WIN, I WIN, I WIN. (not that I'm competitive or anything).
Whew. Doesn’t it make you feel better just knowing?
