Description
Ovaltine (also spelled Ovomaltine in some countries) is a powdered drink mix made with malted barley, whey, and other ingredients, often fortified with vitamins and minerals. It’s typically mixed with hot or cold milk or water to create a nourishing beverage.
There are two main types:
-
Classic Ovaltine (malted chocolate) – A sweet, malty cocoa drink.
-
Ovaltine Original (malt only) – A non-chocolate version with just the malty flavor.
Popular since the early 1900s, Ovaltine has been marketed as a nutritious supplement, especially for children, and is still enjoyed for its comforting, rich flavor.
