Nestlé Nescau chocolate malt drink

Nescau is a leading brand of chocolate malt powder and ready-to-drink beverages originally developed specifically for the Brazilian market by Nestlé. Launched in 1932 under the name 'Nescáo', it underwent a name change in 1954 to reflect its modern identity. It is a cultural icon in Brazil, often associated with sports and high-energy lifestyles.

While the brand has its roots and primary manufacturing base in Brazil through Nestlé Brasil Ltda, the product is part of Nestlé's global beverage portfolio. Manufacturing is centered in Brazilian facilities such as the Caçapava plant, though variations of the brand are distributed internationally. Nestlé S.A., a Swiss multinational, remains the ultimate owner, ensuring global quality standards while maintaining the brand's unique regional identity.
