Milo (IPA /maɪləʊ/) is a milk beverage with chocolate and malt, produced by Nestlé and originating from Australia. It was developed by Thomas Mayne in 1934. Milo is also manufactured in other countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Syria, Taiwan and the UK. The name derives from the famous Greek athlete Milo of Crotona, after his legendary strength.
History
In 1934, Thomas Mayne developed Milo and launched it at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Milo began production at the plant located in Smithtown, near Kempsey, New South Wales, Australia
Use
Milo is added to hot or cold milk to give it a malted chocolate flavour and extra texture. When combined with cold milk, it retains the gritty texture of its raw state. Milo can be stirred into steamed milk or hot water to create something similar to hot chocolate or cocoa. Sugar can be added to the milo beverage, but many people enjoy it without the addition of sweeteners, appreciating it for its subtle chocolate flavour. Another possible use is making a normal cup of cold Milo and microwaving it for approximately 40–60 seconds. This gives the Milo drink a biscuity cover on top.
Another popular use is to sprinkle it on ice cream, especially vanilla ice cream. Milo can also be sprinkled on breakfast cereals. Milo is often the favoured beverage for the Tim Tam Slam.
Also very popular is the "Magic Milo" which involves adding Milo to a small amount of milk with sugar and whipping it to increase the amount of air in the milk, thereby doubling it in size. Then one adds small amounts of hot water and milk in layers stirring each new layer vigorously to maintain its lightness. A final layer of whipped cream topped with extra Milo or chocolate sprinkles. This is more of a 'warm' beverage rather than a 'hot' one and is a more popular version of hot Milo for children.
Milo manufactured outside Australia is customised for local methods of preparation. In Ghana, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia, it is mixed with hot or cold water instead of milk, with the instructions: "Add milk and sugar if desired."
In Australia and most other countries, the packaging is green and has people playing sports on the tin. An organisation called "Milo Cricket", which operates in most areas by volunteers, gives participating children small packets of Milo to eat or drink. The commercials and taglines are "Go and go and go with Milo" and a popular commercial is 4 generations of women on a skipping rope singing "and my mum gave me Milo to go and go and go" and the line "I need my Milo Today", because it has a low glycemic index. The packaging of tins of Milo in Singapore are also green and also have people playing sports on the tins. In Colombia, Milo is closely tied to football (soccer), and the slogan several generations have sung is "Milo te da energía, la meta la pones tú" (Milo gives you energy, you set the finish line).
Milo is very popular in Malaysia, where the brand name is synonymous with chocolate flavored drinks: Milo has a 90% market share in Malaysia (not the often quoted 90% worldwide share of Milo consumption), and Malaysians were said to be the world’s largest consumers of Milo. This is because Milo was once used as a nutrient supplement when it was first introduced in the country, and has thus gained a reputation as a 'must have' drink for the old and the younger generations. Milo manufactured in Malaysia is made to dissolve well in hot water to produce a smooth hot chocolate drink, or with ice added for a cold drink. Milo in Malaysia is served in kopitiams and mamak stalls offering versions such as "Milo Dinosaur" (a cup of milo with an extra spoonful of powdered undissolved Milo added to it), "Milo Godzilla" (a cup of Milo with ice cream and/or topped with whipped cream) and "Neslo" (combined with Nescafe powdered coffee).
Milo also gained popularity in Singapore. "Milo Vans" were often associated with primary school's sports day where pupils queued up to collect their cups of milo drinks using coupons.
Milo with ice added is known as "Milo Peng" (alternately, "ping"), "peng" ( 冰 ) meaning ice in Cantonese and Hokkien. In Japan, Milo is marketed as a canned energy drink, available in vending machines.
In Hong Kong, Milo is served in Cha chaan teng.
Milo is also a famous beverage in Indian Muslim stalls, or fondly known as Mamak stalls in Malaysia. It is also sometimes used as an alternative to jam and put in bread or also as an ingredient in Roti Canai.
In Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean islands, Milo is a popular hot beverage analogous to tea or coffee.
Milo B-Smart
In Australia, a new version of Milo called Milo B-Smart was released in 2008 (the original Milo and Malt Milo varieties remain); which is of a finer texture and has added B vitamins and iodine. It has a different taste from the original Milo formula and is marketed as a health food for children.
Nutritional information
Milo is supposedly high in energy, because the drink has 1,760 kJ in every 100 g of the drink. It is also for this reason, marketed as the " Energy Food Drink ". It is also supposed to have a low Glycemic Index ( GI ), that is, "33 made with whole milk, 36 made with reduced fat milk". This allows the energy in Milo to be released slowly.
The Milo website states that the drink "is high in calcium, iron and the vitamins B1, 2, 6, 12."
Availability in other markets
Availability of Milo in North America is rather limited and is an imported product only. It can be found in Latino & Asian markets with a large East Asian American population in areas such as California, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington and New Jersey. It can also be found in areas with a notable Latino & West Indian population. Publix supermarkets in South Florida stock the Colombian-made Milo drink mix as well as cans of Milo produced in Malaysia. Recently, it has also been available in larger Wal-Mart and Shopper Food Warehouse stores in the Hispanic foods aisle.
Nestle has now introduced a Canadian version of Milo. It is made in Canada. It dissolves rapidly like Nesquik, probably due to market expectations, but still retains the Malt flavour. It is also sweeter than other varieties. This Canadian variety has been available since early 2006 and is widely available in the above mentioned stores as well as Superstore, Extra Foods and London Drugs. Some East Asian supermarkets (such as T&T Supermarket in Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary) will carry the version imported from China or Hong Kong.
In the 1980s this brand was sold in Mexico and distributed there by Nestle. It was a very successful product but it disappeared after Nestle introduced the Nesquik brand there.
It can also be found in the UK in some Sainsbury's and Tesco supermarkets, which import it from Kenya or Uganda. Oriental Food specialists, such as Mini Siam Oriental Foods and Hoo Hing also stock it. A similar product called Ovaltine is most popular with UK consumers.
In the past Milo was available in Portugal and in Brazil. Nestle Brazil discontinued production of Milo in Brazil to focus on the much-popular domestic brands Nescau and Nesquik.
The Chilean version of Milo is still in production and is identical in taste and texture to the one that was once produced in Brazil.
The Indian version is no longer in production because of intense competition from other beverages.
Other Milo products
Products based on Milo are available, such as cereal, yogurt, ice cream and chocolate bars (nuggets). In addition to the powdered form, there is a pre-mixed version of Milo that comes in cans or drink boxes.
In Australia, Milo is also available in a malt flavour; the can is a burgundy color.
In some regions a Milo branded cereal is produced. It consists of a crescent moon-shaped flake of dark brown colour. These flakes are flavoured to match Nestlé's Milo powdered drink. They are claimed to contain 10 vitamins and minerals. Milo Cereal is available in 350g, 580g, 650g, 700g & 800g packages.
