Our Review Factors
A rich chocolatey flavor, effortless spreadability, a pleasing texture, and overall convenience is what we were looking for when reviewing Cadbury Bournvita Crunchy spread. Did this spread bring back the nostalgic Bournvita taste?
1. Flavor
Did this spread have the characteristic Bournvita flavor? Was there a balance between the chocolate and malt flavor? Overly sweet?
Did it have a synthetic aftertaste? Since we’ve always tasted Bournvita with milk, how did Cadbury Bournvita Crunchy Spread taste over bread slices?
2. Texture + Consistency
Easy to spread or a task? This spread claims to be crunchy. Are there bits or large chunks of the malt powder?
3. Other Parameters
All non-tasting and secondary parameters like price, packaging, shelf life, aroma, calories, and ingredients were gauged under this parameter.

What is interesterification of fat?
This is used as a hard fat alternative to trans fats in food products like spreads, bakery, and confectionary items. Interesterification modifies the structure and functionality of fats and oils.
How we tried it
We tried this straight out of the tube and over untoasted bread slices.
Appearance & Consistency
The spread had a deep chocolate brown hue. The consistency was extremely flowy and we could see lots of granules of Bournvita.
To put it into perspective, the consistency was so flowy that we didn’t even have to squeeze the tube. Just holding it at an upright position caused the contents to flow out.
Taste & Texture
As mentioned above, owing to the consistency, this was exceptionally effortless to spread. It had tiny bits which enhanced the experience of each bite.
Taste-wise, this delivered on the Bournvita flavor promise. This was primarily sweet and the chocolate flavor was decadent. The crunchy bits lent an additional chocolate-malt flavor that we quite liked. All-in-all, we give it the green light on taste.
We’d like to add, after scanning the ingredient list and nutrition labels, this is something you should consume occasionally and not make a part of your regular diet because this has quite high amounts of sugar, saturated fats, and cholesterol. The brand too recommends pairing the spread with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Pros
- This tasted just like Bournvita.
- The sweetness and chocolate flavor were on point.
- The crunchy granules that have the iconic Bournvita flavor added a nice texture.
Cons
- This was too flowy, and not thick.
- This is loaded with sugar and mindful consumption is advised.
