Looks like you’re right; but also, the brand doesn’t care:

Have YOU been saying Nutella wrong?

The official pronunciation of the hazelnut chocolate spread is 'new-tell-uh', according to the Nutella website. The brand explained the correct way to say it on their website under FAQs.

“ According to the brand's website, the official way to say it is 'new-tell-uh' - not 'nuh-tell-uh' as many UK fans use.

But Italian manufacturer Ferrero, who make the toast topping treat, said they do not wish to force a universal articulation on it.”
