MarmiteYeast Extract (500g) - Pack of 2

Whoever decided, at whatever time in history, that a brewers yeast extract will make a sandwich spread that is simply delicious savory, should have a statue made. This stuff, on a sandwich with melted cheese over is simply to die for. And you can also stir some into a soup or a stew and it WILL improve the taste. Finally, it is healthy with lots of iron, (I think!)

This is an acquired taste for Americans, but once you get used to it, it's quite flavorful and adds some variety to my breakfast toast. I first tried Vegemite in Australia back in the '80s, it didn't appeal to me, and didn't try it again for 25 years. After a few cholesterol tests where my "good" (HDL) cholesterol was well below the desirable range, and already being in the habit of getting regular exercise and eating a lot of vegetables (the first prescription for increasing your HDL), I began researching food sources of niacin (which supports HDL levels) in hopes of not eventually needing to take prescription niacin medication. The Vegemite/Marmite spreads are among the best supplemental sources of niacin I could regularly fit into my diet (While I have not done a side by side taste tests of Vegemite and Marmite, I cannot tell much difference between them and am satisfied to buy whichever one I can get at the best price).The addition of Marmite to my diet on an almost daily basis seems to have assisted in pushing my latest HDL number comfortably into the desirable 40-59 range, compared to the 20-40 range in tests the previous couple of years (your mileage may vary...).I've just bought my third 2x500g pack form Amazon, and it is the best price I have found taking into account the Prime free shipping. Certainly better than the small Vegemite jars I can buy locally ($7 for 125g). I have bought similar large packages of Vegemite from another online retailer, but their total cost is higher due to shipping, and their product arrives with a "best by" date only a month or so into the future, for a package that will last me 2-3 months.

I love Marmite and have ordered it many times but this time the delivery time was quite long and one of the glass jars arrived broken with marmite all over. As this is classified as non-returnable I need to know how to proceed as this is costly and I will not order again without a fair solution. With one I will update my review.

Great price, very convenient and keeping us in Marmite for another month or so. Bravo!

It's the same Marmite my family knows and loves at a great price compared with what you pay at the supermarket or even a British market.I was worried about ordering this after reading so many reviews of the glass jars arriving shattered, but ours arrived fine, just about. A little bit of product had leaked out from under the lids, but the jars were undamaged. Small miracle, too, because they were not packed great. The jars were touching, one on top of the other with nothing in between the jars, then wrapped in one fairly thin piece of bubble wrap. Completely inadequate.

Awesome! Like liquid gold to any South African!

Same as childhood abroad.Only.. I never realized just how much sodium it contained

We always love marmite, what we didn't love was the delivery time which was about a month
