Reminiscent of Ucal (Portugal)-- has a great creamy taste without the unnecessary viscosity. The slightly sour cocoa flavor pairs nicely with the great texture. It settles quickly, which shouldn't be an issue— you’ll want to flush it down your esophagus posthaste.
Starchy texture and nearly a burnt coffee-esque flavor. Not representative of the Cocio Classic that is packaged in glass— how could it be so different? And why?
Excellently thin, smooth, creamy, and darkish chocolaty. There’s a hint of chalk on the back end, but it still finishes predictably and competently. The best of the Cocio portfolio I’ve had yet (6 of them).
I don’t want to make light of child abuse, but please don’t feed this to your kids. I understand that there’s 50% less sugar, and that ‘taste’ is not the primary objective here, but it should have at least been considered.
Gorgeous rich brown color that has a powdery chocolate flavor and a bit of a murky feel. The taste reminds me of a poor man’s Spar Kakao, which is probably higher praise than I should dole out.
Strong fake-banana flavor that permeates the experience. Knowing that this is likely not the intention, it just comes across as ‘funky’— not in a good way.
Like drinking gravy, without the ‘meat’ part of course. It’s super thick, but not due to a high cream quotient-- it’s just way over emulsified, I think to emulate richness. I don't have an issue with the flavor, but the texture feels so contrived that it’s difficult to isolate the two. If you fancy eating chocolate milk with a spoon, this could be your calling.
Not as sour as the original, but still chalky and also somehow watery. I think the flavor is different (spray paint?) than the original— not sure it’s better, and the texture seems confused.
No added sugar, plenty of protein, and actually not tasteless or terribly offensive. The texture feels dense (a slight departure from ‘milky’) but the artificial sweeteners do their job well and the package is not only potable, but preferable (from a taste standpoint) to many others in the ‘recovery’ market.
Mild mineral/metallic taste to it that is difficult to ignore— as there’s not much else contributing meaningfully to the flavor.
Extremely chalky, but better flavor than the other Matilde products. Still, the chalkiness dries out your mouth and leaves you in an uncomfortable state.
The most prominent flavor here is ‘regret.’ Fifty percent less sugar may be too ambitious— there’s zero sweetness, zero creaminess, no salt, minimal sour cocoa flavor, all wrapped up in a nasty dark gray liquid that, in retrospect, looks much more appetizing that what is delivered. Eschew.
Sour and earthy, with a decent slab of chalk mixed in. Leaves a drying sensation to the mouth that makes you want to drink more— more of something else though.
Very thin, smooth, fair-complected, and bland. It’s quickly drinkable and far from offensive, but definitely won’t set anyone’s world afire.
Not overly chocolaty but smooth, creamy, and malty for a lowfat chocolate milk. The salt is at least as prominent as the sweetness which maintains a drinkable balance that comes off as genuine.
No chocolate whatsoever, and a modest sourness that lands in the back of the throat. It’s sort of creamy, but honestly tastes too much like its container.
Ahh.. Has that same salt/malt combination that I had come to expect from Byrne Dairy— it’s outstanding. The chocolate piece is subtle, but you’re unlikely to care much as everything else is great. Reminiscent of Heidi in Switzerland, which is high praise.
A highly salty and slightly cardboard-y take on the cookies-n-cream flavor (it compares poorly to the Hershey’s versions). The sweetness and cream help the drinkability considerably, but it’s far inferior to its chocolate counterpart.
Mildly metallic aftertaste that dissipates quickly, but the chalkiness is slower to vanish. From a flavor standpoint, it’s under sweetened an under salted; not recommended for recreational consumption.
