Breakfast

This German and Swiss breakfast collection brings together oat porridge, chocolate and malt spreads, and Westfälischer Pumpernickel rye bread. Compared with many familiar British breakfast choices, the range centres on creamy oat bowls, dense rye slices and rich continental spreads. Koelln porridge comes in Classic, Apple Cinnamon and Hazelnut varieties. The spreads include Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream, Nutella and Caotina Crème Chocolat, giving you Swiss chocolate malt, hazelnut chocolate and Swiss chocolate choices alongside a distinctive German bread.

German Porridge Oats

Cereal and oats here means German oat porridge, the warm breakfast British shoppers may also search for as porridge oats or instant porridge. Koelln choices include Classic, Apple Cinnamon and Hazelnut. Prepare a bowl for breakfast and choose the plain version for your own toppings, or a flavoured option when you want fruit, spice or nutty flavour already included.

German Chocolate Spreads

These sweet breakfast spreads are chocolate creams for bread and toast, often searched for in English as chocolate spread or hazelnut spread. Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream combines Swiss chocolate malt character with crunch, Nutella brings hazelnut and chocolate, and Caotina Crème Chocolat offers a Swiss chocolate option. Spread them onto breakfast bread, toast or pancakes.

German Rye Bread

This bread selection features Mestemacher Westfälischer Pumpernickel, a German rye bread that British shoppers may search for as pumpernickel bread or dark rye bread. Its dense slices make a practical base for sweet breakfast spreads, cheese or other savoury toppings. Serve it straight from the pack, or warm it briefly before topping.
