Marmite

language

description Marmite Overview

Marmite is a dark, concentrated British food spread made primarily from yeast extract, a material obtained through the brewing process. First marketed in 1902, it has a thick consistency and a pronounced salty, savory flavor, so it is normally spread thinly on toast or used in small amounts to season food. The product naturally contains several B vitamins, while its distinctive taste and long association with British food culture separate it from milder sandwich spreads.
