Ovaltine - A Rich and Proud Heritage

The Ovaltine story began almost 120 years ago in a humble Swiss laboratory with a Swiss chemist by the name of Dr. George Wander. It was 1904 and Dr Wander was investigating the nutritional qualities of barley malt. He made a very happy discovery. His research showed him that barley malt was full of complex carbohydrates and naturally occurring vitamins.

The scientist then decided to combine the healthy barley malt with other nutritious ingredients like milk, egg, and cocoa.

The result of this combination was named Ovaltine.

Full of Vitamins & Minerals

Ovaltine was launched as the very first convenient and complete milk fortifier. It was intended to provide hot, nutritional drinks that would strengthen.

By 1909, news of Ovaltine had reached the UK. The British people started their long and happy relationship with the delicious drink. It's a relationship that continues and strengthens today.

Because of the busy world we live in, Ovaltine is even more relevant than ever. It's easy to make, warming and restorative. No wonder Ovaltine is loved and trusted by so many.
