(SPOT.ph) We've waxed poetic about great bread, but sometimes you just want to take the experience up a notch. Enter bread spreads, which contribute flavor and creaminess to whatever you add them to—even outside the realm of bread. If you're looking options beyond the more common picks at the grocery, you've come to the right place. The best part is, you don't even have to leave the house to order them!

Take your morning toast to the next level with these tasty and versatile spreads:
Haw Haw Milk Spread
Remember the milky, powdery candy known as Haw Haw? You can now get it as a smooth, creamy spread with the same milky flavor as its namesake candy.

La Ermita Cantabria's Carrot Jam

Buko Organic Coconut Spread with Sea Salt
If you love salted caramel, you'll also love the Buko Organic Coconut Spread with Sea Salt (P295/265 grams)—a coconut jam-like spread with a savory touch from natural sea salt. You'll love it on pan de sal, but it's also worth trying on pancakes. Get your fix by ordering through Foodsource.ph.

Ovomaltine's Crunchy Cream
Hands up if you grew up eating chocolate-malt powder straight from the jar as a kid—or even now! You can enjoy it as a spread, in the form of Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream (P261.75/380 grams). This Swiss creation has a smooth chocolate base plus malted crunchy pieces for added texture. It'd go great with just about any bread—from brioche to pan de sal—or even with biscuits or cookies. You can get it from Landers' online shop.

L&L Plaquette's Malt of Beer Butter
Yup, you can have beer not just in the form of, well, beer, but also as butter! L&L Plaquette's Malt of Beer Butter (P420/100 grams) melds lightly salted butter with a slightly bitter, beer-y finish. This French brand makes their butter with raw (a.k.a. unpasteurized) milk, making for greater depth of flavor—we can totally imagine how it'd go with a slice of toasted rye bread or sourdough. Get your fix from online grocery shop Dough & Grocer.

Pisti's Sicilian Pistachio Butter
You don't see pistachios get turned into nut butter a lot, but you can try it for yourself through Pisti's Sicilian Pistachio Butter (P649.75/600 grams). It's got the best nuts from sicily turned into a silky-smooth spread that you can enjoy on biscuits or bread (in particular, a loaf like challah or brioche!).

The Fruit Garden's Calamansi Brandy Luxury Jam
Tangy, aromatic calamansi gets an extra depth from brandy in The Fruit Garden's Calamansi Brandy Luxury Jam (P300/350 grams). It's great on sourdough, whether by itself or dolloped on top of ricotta. Try it with scones, too. You can order this locally made jam from Foodsource.ph.
