The Crunchy Truth: Why Ovomaltine's Cream Won Me Over

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'll be the first to admit it: I was a Nutella devotee, but this year it just didn't cut it. After trying Ovomaltine's cream, I'm hooked. The Swiss method for tackling stress involves formulating your question or problem, grabbing the blue-labeled jar with your left hand, and a long cappuccino spoon with your right. It's a game-changer. The taste is rich and satisfying, and the texture is silky smooth. I've tried it for a week now, and I'm sold. It's worth every penny. I love that it's easy to use - just grab the jar and spoon, and dig in. You can also use it as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, or as a filling for cakes and pastries. I'm impressed with the build quality, and shipping was fast and reliable. Customer support is responsive and helpful, too.

Can Stress Be Tackled with Nutella?
Easy peasy!
xa0
If you've got a jar of Nutella and a spoon, just slowly and constantly ask the universe the question, and more often than not, the exit strategy will reveal itself in the chocolate patterns at the bottom of the jar.

It's all crystal clear... like a shot of espresso.

But, it seems like this year something's gone awry, and Nutella just didn't cut it... the jar's empty, and there's no way out.

Packaging
The transparent glass jar is wrapped with an orange label around the middle, urging you to crunch and boasting about the absence of palm oil.

The lid is a nice dark blue color, matching the branding name.
Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream Underneath the lid, there's a foil-lined membrane for protection.
Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream The foil comes off easily, and it doesn't leave any residue on the container (unlike some other brands I've tried).
Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream The first thing that hits you is the rich, chocolatey aroma, slightly reminiscent of Nutella. There's something else in the scent, but I'm not quite sure what it is yet.
The mass looks a bit lighter than Nutella, and you can see some visible specks.
Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream I initially thought the specks were hazelnuts, but it wasn't until I was writing this review that I found out what they actually are.

Let's get real, who doesn't love chocolate spread on toast for breakfast or as a snack? Even the little ones get a thumbs up for it!

Crunchy Cream Chocolate Spread I've been using this stuff like a pro - right out of the jar, leaving a nice, velvety chocolatey goodness on my tongue for what feels like ages. xa0
The chocolate spread is sweet, but not too sweet. It's got a great flavor that's reminiscent of Nutella - thick, rich, and chocolatey.

There are these weird little bits (haven't figured out what they are yet) that linger in my mouth after I've had the chocolate spread. They don't dissolve and have a nice crunch to them.
It's the little crunchies that add to the fun of eating each spoonful of chocolate spread.
They don't have a strong flavor, they're pretty neutral, but the sweetness comes from the chocolate spread itself. Mmm...

I almost want to say that I've known this product since childhood. That its flavor hasn't changed and it's brought me back to carefree times...
It's funny, I used to make 'chocolate oil' (basically sugar and cocoa powder 'Golden Label') with my friends, or heat up condensed milk for a quick chocolate fix. Those could take me back to nostalgic times faster than a time machine.
Looking back, I realize that in the 90s, we were slowly moving towards Nutella by adding condensed milk or caramel to our homemade chocolate mix. Meanwhile, in Switzerland, they were mixing whatever they had on hand with oil - Ovomaltine, a drink from childhood.
Ovomaltine Крем-шоколад хрустящий Сrunchy СreamIngredients
33% powder from malt-based drink* Ovomaltine, condensed milk, concentrated milk serum, low-fat cocoa powder, sugar, fructose, mineral substances (magnesium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate), rapeseed oil, vitamins (A, E, C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, folic acid, B12, biotin, pantothenic acid), salt, vanilla flavoring], sugar, rapeseed oil, fully hydrogenated rapeseed oil, hazelnuts, emulsifiers (sunflower lecithin, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), low-fat cocoa powder, antioxidants (ascorbil palmitate, alpha-tocopherol), vanilla flavoring.
I'm still yet to try this drink (already noted), but as soon as I'm done with Caro from Nestle - I'll be trying it.
Caro from Nestle - reviewWhat caught my attention is that the chocolate paste contains not only the drink Ovomaltine, but also vitamins! Isn't that a lovely touch? When I come across such information, I always think that many people have moved away from sugary treats, and manufacturers have decided to keep the most confident chocolate stress-fighters as having healthy additives hidden under a thick layer of sugar, but showcased on the label.
It's also packed with vitamins, calcium, and magnesium.

Back to the crunchy bits...
As it turns out, the mini chunks in the chocolate mass are actually malt. To be precise, they're granules from the drink Ovomaltine, created by a certain Dr. Vander 150 years ago. I've never tried anything like this before and unfortunately, I've never been to Switzerland.
Ovomaltine is a fast-dissolving drink made from barley malt, dried milk, cocoa, dried skimmed milk, glucose syrup, eggs, yeast, and honey. The product was invented over 100 years ago by a Swiss pharmacist and was initially marketed as a toning product for small children and sick people.

I love how the dried, super-thin malt granules are airy and crunchy. I reckon many kids used to crunch on them as kids without turning them into a drink. For them, Ovomaltine's Crunchy Cream is a taste of childhood.

*********************
Each spoonful of chocolate cream melts in your mouth, while the barley malt flakes crunch pleasingly...
Imagine stretching out the pleasure... spreading it on a cookie, toast, or cracker, and with thin crepes... you'd get a crunchy, tasty treat!
Too bad I've already devoured the whole jar... highly recommend!
