Nutella

Yesterday after school, my locker partner god "pissed off" at me because I have been calling Nutell "noo-tella" and she told me it's "nuh-tella" because there are nuts in it so it's "NUH-tella". I knew the pronunciation didn't matter, because whatever it's called, it's delicious and I refuse to argue over something so ridiculously stupid. BUT I just now got curious to what it actually is because I have heard it said both ways and I wanted to know what was the right pronunciation, if there was one. I have read quite a few places that Nutella is in fact pronounced "noo-tella" because it is an italian product, therefore it has an italian name. Since we Americans (Im american) like to butcher pronunciations to foreign names, I wasn't suprised that some called it "nuh-tella". I have nothing against my own country and it's culture, but I feel that americans should have more knowledge about other cultures. We could learn a lot and maybe some people wouldn't be so ignorant to other ethnicities.
