Nutella articles?

Hello, a few days ago, I was having a conversation with a friend over breakfast about whether Nutella is called "die," "der," or "das." I think it's called "die Nutella," and my friend thinks it's called "das Nutella." I'm curious to hear what you think it's actually called.

According to Duden, you can choose, but the most commonly used one is probably “Nutella”.

Often the female form is used by Nutella, probably derived from the feminine ending -ella originating from the Italian. However, the sparse form also occurs. The neutrum is often chosen for foreign words if there are no strong reasons for masculine or feminum. The Nutella is more rare.

Use it yourself.

It would be urgently necessary for a final verdict to be finally made about this recurring topic, which apparently moves millions of consumers, or at least a great dissertation to be written and published.

There is no “right” article for Nutella, cf. Dudes. I tell myself the.

The manufacturer (Ferrero) had long ago already said that there is no “right” article.

I think “the” Nutella sounds the most natural. “The Nutella sounds kind of weird.

There is no specific article for it. It just like the laptop or the laptop. I always say the Nutella.

That’s why I always say the chocolate marrows. I wouldn’t eat it anyway.

I think about. 90% of the words that end up in German on A have a female article. So I also say “the Nutella”
