Arnott's Monte Carlo

I had written a review about the drop in the quality of Monte Carlo biscuits a while back, but the taste of the last packet was far worse.
The filling has a very strong bitter taste, as if the milk used in the cream has expired and gone off.
It was nauseating, so better not to buy them, and if you have any don't give them to your children.

Very disappointed with Arnott Monte Carlo biscuits. Freshly opened this morning. At first I thought I bought a brand substitute but no, unfortunately they were the original brand. Immediately I knew something had changed. Couldn’t taste or see the jam in the filling. Biscuit had the texture of cardboard. Not enough butter in the biscuit and flavour changed. I bought 2 packets which I will be throwing out. Will not be buying Arnotts biscuits ever again.

Purchased a packet of Monte Carlo biscuits from Coles for the first time in a while.
Really disappointed to see they have changed the quality of the filling. The red jam layer over the cream is very thin and therefore has lost that wonderful chewy texture it was once memorable for. Without knowing why it’s changed, all I can say is, it’s a step in the wrong direction for this otherwise iconic biscuit.

Very disappointed that there's been a change in quality. I used to love dipping these biscuits into my tea. It's smaller, text is different and no longer has a chew to it.

I tried to call and provide feedback. No answer

Life long favourite biscuit of mine amd haven't eaten them for about 4 years due to health reasons. I puchased a pack and was shocked when I opened them.

They don't look or taste anything like they used to. They taste like #&=*

Another corporate sell out to the weasels that are ruining everything these days...

Enough said,

Shame Arnotts, shame.

I have bought 6 packs of different biscuits recently.
Monte Carlo was awful. The biscuit is just like a thick Marie. Tasteless, and the jam has lost the toffee texture. Will not buy Arnotts again.
I ended up giving them all away.
Mone Carlo was my favourite once.

Haven't had these in years, but decided to buy a pack and ended up throwing them out.

Smaller in size, and a dry soggy biscuit. The nostalgic crunch into a chewy jammy center replaced now by some pasty powdery overly sugared slag.

Repeated efforts to increase profits off of an old Australian icon, reducing the brand to rubbish. Will never buy again. Even Coles brand is preferable to this junk. Disgusting.

Arnott's Biscuits have sacrificed their traditional recipes and quality for a sub-standard product.

I purchased a packet of Monte Carlo biscuits, the Monte Carlo looked like they had been dehydrated, Monte Carlo used to be fat and plump and I don’t know what happened to the Monte Carlo’s but I know that once they were the nicest Arnott's Biscuits.
So Arnott's Biscuits you have sacrificed traditional recipes and quality for a sub-standard product all for increasing you profit.
Quality down products to reduce costs & improve profits.
Arnott's Biscuits once a producer of quality biscuit products to a producer of bland disgusting rubbish.

During the Corona Virus I have been eating Monte Carlos with my coffee and find they are quite hard to stop at one or two. However they are sweeter and the crumb is more refined than previously. My digestive system prefers the more wholesome recipe.

opened a pack of new style Monte Carlo biscuits. What a shock the biscuit in flattened, very crumbly, and soft in texture, the filling seems sweetener. Gone is the crisp, crunchy, chewey twxture, not overly sweet biscuit I loved. Another victim of the current trend to quality down products to reduce costs & improve profits. They are now off my list. Arnotts used to represent old fashioned trust & quality. II think its now owned by Nabisco (USA)

Sadly the same thing has happened to Arnott"s Choc Monte as has happened to their Monte Carlo. Tates like a very different cheap version of the former biscuits. No longer has that distinct flavour, texture is very different, dryer and fine crumbs. They're also thinner. Now tastes like any other generic cheap chocolate biscuits but cost more.The choc coating is different too,is now a softer milk chocolate that is sweet minus flavour instead of the solid rich dark choc coating they used to have.Not buying again.
