Ovomaltine Crunchy chocolate bar

Ovomaltine, known as Ovaltine in many markets, is an iconic Swiss brand with a history dating back to 1904. Founded by Dr. Albert Wander in Bern, Switzerland, it was originally developed as a nutritional malt extract designed to combat malnutrition. The product range has since expanded from its original powder form to include snacks, spreads, and the popular Crunchy chocolate bars.

Today, the brand is owned by Associated British Foods (ABF), a multinational food processing and retail company based in the United Kingdom. While international rights for Ovaltine were acquired by ABF from Novartis in 2002, the production for the Swiss market and many European chocolate products remains rooted in Switzerland. This specific Crunchy chocolate bar is a staple in the Swiss confectionery market, combining traditional milk chocolate with the brand's signature malted granules.
