Kraft Vegemite (220g)

A simply delicious product! Especially if you’re a Aussie!!!

I had an Australian friend coming to visit me here in the UK, after they had been travelling for months away from all home comforts (and tastes) So I thought I would get them something for that 'home away from home' experience. Now I know that 99.9% of Australians really do go nuts for Vegemite...though as a Brit I have no idea why ;) I don't even like Marmite so this product clearly doesn't appeal to me. But I saw Vegemite on Amazon, possibly the last place I expected to find it. And I decided to get some for my friend, hoping that when they were able to have some on their toast for brekkie at my house that they would feel at home and happy. I mis-judged how much my friend actually LOVES this stuff! As soon as I showed it to them it was used on a sandwich, then toast, then another sandwich. In the course of 2 days they'd used it for 5 meals!! Haha, I think they were very happy :) I let them take the rest of the jar and will pass the link to buying it on Amazon to them also, so when they inevitably run out (quickly a the current rate of consumption!) they can get themselves some more for while they are still living so far from home. All in all it made an Aussie who was far from home very happy - I was glad to be able to purchase this in the UK, it was worth it.

My little Aussie grandson was comito the UK. He loves his Vegemite sandwiches so much. He loves the flavour. I disliked the fact I had to buy 3 bottles which was minimum purchase order. That’s 2 bottles wasted but I’ll give them away

Good quality product, arrived sooner than expected, fine taste for my Australian visitor, would recommend

It's a taste thing,but this is better than marmite. A jar lasts me about 9 months and I have it most days on toast.

A tad expensive but unable to find in local supermarkets !

Vegemite can be bought in Tesco for WAY LESS £££

I have been eating Vegemite since I was a little girl so it was great to be able to buy over Amazon UK.

I tried it for the first time...it was a totally new experience and I would buy it again...it was value for money...has a strong smell....it's original product and quality is good...

食べたくて食べたくて仕方なかったベジマイト。 割高ですが、賞味期限もしっかりあるし、買ってよかったです。

I impulse-purchased a jar of Marmite at World Market some time back and I loved it, but it's been gone for a while. After hearing Men at Work singing about a vegemite sandwich in "Land Down Under" the other day, I decided I should order some Vegemite to compare the two. My jar arrived in perfect condition, with seven months to go on the best-by date. This stuff is one of those things that's fine in the cupboard for a long time after that date, no refrigeration needed (but I suppose it can't hurt). It's genuine made-in-Australia Vegemite. imported and distributed by an Irish company, and made by a company with the address of "1 Vegemite Way" in Melbourne, Australia. I'm going to have to also order a new jar of Marmite, because it's been long enough since I've had it that I can't make a final decision on the age-old question of which is the better, Marmite or Vegemite. I think they're so close that it really doesn't matter. No offense to my British or Aussie friends who have stronger opinions in this subject. Vegemite is darker in color (very dark brown) and has a texture like super creamy peanut butter, where Marmite is more gooey (imagine the thickest honey ever) and a slight bit lighter in color (very dark amber). The flavor of Vegemite holds it own easily compared to my experience with Marmite. It hits like a ton of bricks, just like Marmite did. The aftertaste is epic and mellows on the palate over time, making you want another taste. It's so good, and it just feels, tastes, and seems pure and good for you, which it is in moderation, due to sodium content. The best way I can describe the flavor to someone who's never had either one is rich, savory, salty, and meaty, like the best beef bouillon ever, even though both products are fully vegan as far as I know. For now I'm just going to say that Vegemite and Marmite are very close to each other in flavor and overall experience. If you like either one, you'll like both. Either one will be great on toast, bread, crackers, sandwiches, just a tiny dab (don't dip) on fresh veggies, or by adding a slight (!) spoonful to soups, stews, gravy, pasta sauces, during the pasta boil, stroganoff, alfredo sauce, sparingly in salads (mix it with the dressing), or pretty much any other savory or umami dish. No matter how you enjoy it, a little goes a long way. Always remember that. This stuff is pure flavor. It's good straight out of the jar too. Just a pea-sized amount (no more than that because it's powerful) on the tip of a spoon and you're in Flavor Town, baby. (Copyright Guy Fieri) Vegemite, Marmite, or preferably both, are something everyone should try, and should always have in the cupboard for cooking and general use. Try it, you'll like it. Most people seem to. It's the flavor. UPDATE/EDIT: So I got a new jar of Marmite so I could compare. The Vegemite wins the overall competition, and that surprises me. Flavor, texture, smell, all go to Veg over Marm. Marmite has a tanginess that Vegemite doesn't, and I like the flavor of Vegemite better. It's deeper and more intense. As far as texture, the peanut butter texture of Vegemite is easier and less messy to handle than the gooey, honey-like texture of Marmite. The Vegemite also feels better on the tongue when tasted off a spoon. Smell: Vegemite has a deeper, "meatier" aroma than Marmite. Marmite carries the tanginess of its flavor over into the aroma, and its aroma is not as prominent as Vegemite's. Overall, Marmite is good but Vegemite is better, in my opinion. Your mileage may vary. I won't turn down either one, but if you have both, I'll have the Vegemite.

Good value.

Think of never having eaten peanut butter, only jam and jelly. Someone makes you try it. Likely, "yuck!" Texture, color, savory rather than sweet, can't get it out of your mouth. Or even a teaspoon of salt if you've only had sugar. That's how I describe the "Vegemite experience" to those who've never tried it. It's just different, but quickly so delicious once accustomed. DO NOT do like those YouTubers with the spoonful! That wouldn't be a fair representation of salt, either. Take a very little--VERY LITTLE--bit spread lightly in little dabs and expect it's going to be "different." It's truly worth it. Plus healthy, a little goes a very long way and millions of people can't be all wrong. I was given a spoonful of Marmite as a prank when I was young, an absolutely horrible experience, and it took me years to get over just the thought of the taste and association with being bullied. Finally trusted a family member, did as I was told and so happy I did! It's just different!
