PromiteSpread, 290g

This came well-packaged and secure in a sleeve, in a snug box within the Amazon box. I first tried it at the recommendation of a Tasmanian friend, and I started putting it on and in EVERYTHING.I use it in soup or with hot water AS soup for a lovely umami bomb. Bread and butter, of course. In ramen. With cookies or "biscuits" as a weird but tasty sweet-and-savory combo.I LOVE the smooth, spreadable, not-too-sticky texture and find it pleasanter than Vegemite and FAR better than Marmite in both flavor and texture.I'm definitely in a Where-Have-You-Been-All-My-Life relationship with Promite.

Promite is milder than Vegemite in that it is less salty and a smoother flavor. You have to grow up in Australia to think Vegemite is King. I remember my mother putting Vegemite on our pacifiers during teething so yes, it's a hometown treat. Having said that, the secret for the newcomers, put it on bread or toast with butter and only a thin coat of Promite - you should be able to see the bread underneath through the spread. Don't have big goobies of it otherwise you will not return for a second taste. Hang in there folks and you will get to find that Promite is good with so many things and can be used in so many recipes.

I'm not sure what one says about Promite. I personally prefer it (by a lot) to Vegemite. Its an Australian staple and this product is exactly what you purchase in Australia. The price is expensive, but it has to come from Australia and I imagine the demand isn't super high in the States, so shipping is likely a killer. (this product retails for $3-4 in any supermarket in Australia). If you have tried Vegemite and like it, then you should definitely try Promite (I personally think Vegemite is fine but has a slight metallic edge, while Promite is much smoother with a slightly bolder and much more appealing flavor).

My personal preference is the for original Marmite: salty and yeasty flavor.When I opened the Promite lid there was already a difference in the appearance, I.e., less stiff and smoother, and some of the product was on the underside of the lid. I scooped the residue up and licked the spatula. Initially, I enjoyed the texture and flavor. But a few minutes later I sensed a strange feeling on my teeth and flavor (to me unpleasant) in my mouth. I have had those sensations before after consuming some high fructose corn syrup sweetened foods. So, I checked the label. Sugar = sucrose (covalent bond between fructose and glucose), which doesn’t bother me, but I was surprised that the glucose syrup was giving me a fructose corn syrup reaction.For me, Marmite is for plain toast with watercress or arugula. I will have to figure out how to use the Promite where other ingredients can “cover” for the syrup.

I used to enjoy Vegemite on occasion, but I'll never go back to it now. Promite is milder and less salty, and it has a creamier, smoother consistency (making it much easier to spread on toast). The only downside is that I use a lot more Promite on each slice of toast, because it's less concentrated – and Promite is pretty expensive.I never liked Marmite. So of the three yeast-based spreads, Promite is the best, in my view.

I'd say the taste and texture are similar to Vegemite but slightly sweeter. Probably more user friendly to yanks. But big caveat - contains carrageenan. Banned in the EU and a list of ill affects it's puzzling why companies still use this as a thickening agent when other thickeners are available. Anyways it's a shame it's in there because I did like the taste. Guess I'll just have marmite and Vegemite in cabinet for my yeast spread needs.

Savor every spread. The glass jar was securely packaged. Thank you. The only negative on this product is the US price. It's not nearly as expensive in Australia.

I've been eating Marmite and Vegemite for a bit, and thought I'd try this. I like the taste of Marmite better than Vegemite, but this is the best of the three. It has much less of a bitter taste, and is less of an 'acquired taste' than the other two. My kids actually liked this one, but won't go near the other two. The texture is kind of between the texture of Marmite and Vegemite - Marmite being very sticky like very thick honey, Vegemite being much more firm, like spreadable butter. Overall, I really like Promite.
