Marmite
About
Marmite is a product made from yeast extract (a by-product of beer brewing). We can find two similar food spreads under the name of Marmite: the original British version, first produced in the United Kingdom and later South Africa, and a version produced in New Zealand.
The Marmite distinctive powerful taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan ('Love it or hate it') and some would compare its flavour with Australian 'Vegemite'.

Tasting Notes
Selecting and Buying
Preparation and Use
Marmite can be used in many recipes. Although it is a product suitable for vegetarian, it gives an almost meaty taste to gravy, shepherd pies, spaghetti bolognese, etc. Stirred straight in and dissolved in water, it has many uses and applications. The list is endless and growing day by day.
Conserving and Storing
Marmite should be kept in a cool and dark place, but not in the fridge as it needs to be easily spreadable, especially on toast and bread.
