Review: A simply delicious product! Especially if you’re a Aussie!!!
Review: I bought this to try out of compelling curiosity. Everyone in the US has heard of Vegemite, but it's not easy to come by around here. Few have tried this treat from the Land Down Under. I was able to find one local grocery chain that carries it, but they want nearly double the desertcart price! This seller currently offers the best deal an American will get. The taste is different, in a good way. Nothing widely sold in the US compares. I was expecting something close to beef bouillon cubes, but Vegemite is more astringent and savory. You can still roughly compare it to bouillon cubes, but perhaps with notes of dark Stout and mushrooms added? The taste coats the tongue. It's clearly for those people that like strongly flavored foods. If you don't like sharp cheeses and dark beers, you probably won't like Vegemite. I tried in the suggested manner, thinly spread on (French peasant bread) toast with butter, and loved it enough on first taste to make myself a second slice. It worked less well for me with poached eggs over toast (all I could taste was the Vegemite) but it was fantastic on my sandwich with leftover chicken tika masala! My next try will likely be the traditional Vegemite sandwich (I speak-a your language) with tomato and cheese on toasted bread. I see myself adding this to tomato sauces, gravies, stews and soups to kick them up. It will also likely make its way into barbecue glazes. Any place where a rich, meaty flavor is desired. It's also won me over enough where I'd like to try it's British cousin, Marmite. If you're an American who likes strong, salty/bitter foods, give this a try. It may just fill a hole in your culinary life. Worst case, you're out six bucks and are forced to use it as a beef bouillon substitute or (even better) give it to an Australian expat that you know and love. As far as desertcart goes, the only downside is the long wait time. This product ships (free!) from the U.K., so that really can't be helped. Personally, I got impatient and paid my grocers outlandish prices for the first taste, but will use this seller for restocking. Edit 12/14/16: for those interested, my package from Tora Foods arrived 6 days later than the latest posted shipping day. About six weeks total to get this Vegemite. Considering it had to cross an ocean to get here and the shipping was free, I'm okay with this. The price for this product also appears to have crept up a bit since I bought it. Considering the delay in receiving the product and price change, paying the extra couple bucks to get this at my local market makes more sense than ordering online. This is still worth it if you don't have any nearby store that sells Vegemite. Edit: there seems to have been some rumor of a formulation change around November of 2019, when Vegemite was certified vegan. I have some jars predating the change, so I thought I'd buy some new Vegemite and do a taste test comparison. I have no insider knowledge here, but it is my opinion that, unless the taste and texture of Vegemite alters considerably over time, something did indeed change. The old Vegemite is extremely dark and tarlike. It's a pain to spread on your bread unless it's still hot from the toaster. The taste is that of a strong almost beefy bullion, or maybe soy sauce with a bitter bite. The new jar is a lighter shade of brown. It spreads far easier, like a peanut butter. The taste has all the same notes but the bitterness is punched up by quite a bit, a bit more towards a Marmite flavor. The (220g) jars list all the same ingredients but the calorie counts are slightly changed. Again, this is just my opinion. The official line is that the product does indeed change in texture over time and maybe they changed the way that they're formulating the calorie count, but I never remember this product being as light colored or easy to spread as what I just bought, and the stock that I have tells the same story. The new stuff isn't bad or anything. I prefer the spreadability. But I personally don't think the Aussies are crazy when they say it tastes different.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will Vegemite keep un-refrigerated?**
A: If you are keeping It long enough to worry about it going bad, you may not be eating enough.

It may be time to step up your Marmite (Vegemite) game.

Eat more toast. :)

**Q: what does one mix and/or eat with marmite?**
A: Marmite similar to Vegemite in taste and ingedients is a spread used thinly on buttered bread and is especially good on buttered toast.Marmite is a bit sweeter than Vegemite, both are by products of the production of beer. They are both vegan and vegetarian and high in B vitamins and canbe paired with sliced cheese, tomato and cucumber. They can also be used innplace of bouillion in stews and gravies.

**Q: How long does shipping take to America?**
A: Not all of the Vegemite you see on Amazon is shipped from outside of the country. Many sellers import it in bulk and the shipping to you is wholly within the US. If you buy with Amazon Prime, it's definitely coming from within the US. The one I just ordered is shipping from Wisconsin.

**Q: Is there milk in it? Is it vegan**
A: There is no milk in Vegemite. Vegemite is vegan.
