## Description

First produced in 1902, the Marmite of today takes great pride in being the most equally loved and hated British product there is! This large jar will keep even the most addicted Marmite lover happy for at least a few weeks. Reveling in its ability to divide a nation, this yeast-based extract is - to some people, at least - an irresistible spread, perfect on toast but also a great addition to a cheese sandwich, chicken sandwich, tuna sandwich... the list goes on. In addition to yeast, Marmite contains a perfect mixture of, vegetables and spices, all of which combine for that controversial taste

Review: Real Marmite, what can I say? - This is real Marmite Yeast Extract from England. If you like Marmite, then this is for you. The quantity is great and will last a long time.
Review: Will Marmite Capture American Taste Buds? - This is my first experience with Marmite. I purchased it (and the Australian Vegemite) out of simple curiosity, plus B vitamin contact. Thankfully, I knew not to spread too thick so was not surprised by the strong savory flavor. I had read up on the history and uses of the various yeast extracts and was interested to see if they would shock my American taste buds, and they did! It is said to be an acquired taste, but so far so good! I can see how the stuff can be addictive! I have been using as a condiment on sandwiches and small amounts to add complex flavor in soup recipes. Have heard that this product is a kitchen staple in the UK and quite inexpensive there, but highly overpriced by sellers on desertcart to US consumers, so I probably paid too much for the yeast extract experience! The other drawback is that it is very salty so I better slow down and not try it on everything!

packaging for glass jars is critical in this case minimal packaging around the jar resulted marmite discharge and very sticky product which needed washing to clean up Product is excellent Packaging is 2/5 not acceptable
