Marmite Reduced Salt Yeast Extract 250g

Whilst we got our Marmite, upon opening the bubble wrap we discovered the contents had leaked out of the glass jar, the contents in our opinion had been subjected to high heat, therefore extruding the Marmite out. The jar otherwise was ok, no breaks and we put the jar into our ref, but now the contents are like treacle, not a paste substance as it should be. Disappointing more care not taken in the shipment, hence the low scores.

If you look at the reviews on this, you'll see that Marmite is extremely polarizing. Its tag line is that you love it or hate it, and that is 100% accurate. If you check out their website, they've actually done research into why that's the case. They found out that certain genetic markers actually dictate whether you like or dislike Marmite, which is pretty cool because it means that it actually tastes different to people depending on their genetics, much like (disgusting, soapy) cilantro.I feel so bad for people who dislike it. It's similar to soy sauce in saltiness, but it also has a very rich umami as well. Almost like concenrrated bouillon. It is so good when used right. For other Americans who may not be familiar, it's usually served on toast. So toast up ... MoreIf you look at the reviews on this, you'll see that Marmite is extremely polarizing.

For other Americans who may not be familiar, it's usually served on toast. So toast up some bread, add some butter, and then put a VERY THIN layer of Marmite over the butter. It tastes very strong and a little bit goes a long way, and that's good because this stuff is pricey in America. My favorite way to use it is as listed above with a little bit of peanut butter on top of it.

It is Marmite-love it or hate it

I can’t for the life of me think why a review is necessary.It’s Marmite, it never deviates from the recipe.Consistently tastes the same, over many decades.The price of it is ridiculous. However another supermarket beginning with A sells and own brand one for significantly cheaper and it just as good, if not better

Marmite Reduced Salt: Love It Or Love It

When it comes to Marmite, people often say that you either love it or hate it. Well I am one of those people that love it! So when I found out that you could get Marmite in a reduced salt variety, I was really excited to try it. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting it to taste as good as original Marmite - But I was completely wrong!Marmite Reduced Salt tastes as good, and in my opinion is even better, than original Marmite. It has all those umami qualities that you love and expect, but with a tiny bit less of the bitterness. Marmite Reduced Salt is really smooth to eat, but still packs that typical Marmite satisfying tang.I've tried other 'reduced salt' products before and been left a bit disappointed. I'm really happy that Marmite Reduced Salt is not like those ... MoreWhen it comes to Marmite, people often say that you either love it or hate it. Well I am one of those people that love it!

I'm really happy that Marmite Reduced Salt is not like those products. It keeps the spirit of the original, but makes it more healthy by having 25% less salt per serving.One other unexpected difference that I found, was that Marmite Reduced Salt has a slightly smoother texture. This makes it a bit simpler to scoop out of the jar, and much more easy to spread on your favourite foods. My favourite is to spread it on a French bread baguette with a little bit of butter. It mixes so well and tastes delicious - especially if the bread is a bit warm so it all melts together.A friend of mine stayed over the other night, and I made some toast and Marmite Reduced Salt for breakfast. I didn't tell them that I used the reduced salt version. I asked them how it tasted and they said it was great. I then revealed that I used Marmite Reduced Salt. They were super impressed by the way it tasted, and could never had told the difference!I'm definitely a new fan of Marmite Reduced Salt. You get all that same wonderful Marmite taste but with 25 per cent less salt. It's just one little thing to help my family and friends live a bit healthier without sacrificing on taste!Marmite Reduced Salt - l Love It!

Marmite review?

Not much to say really is there, you either love it or, well the other is not worth thinking about. I used to live in an Aussie community in Paris and used to never understand how they could say that Vegemite is better than Marmite. Just had a trip down under and discovered that the product they have which is called Marmite (has the trademark there I guess) is a disgusting black tar. They do have proper Marmite but it's in the niche international section of the supermarket in tiny jars, and it's called "Our Mate".

My mate marmite

Let's start with the packaging. Still that great same old shape and if you were blindfolded you could work out what the product was straight away by feeling the shape of the jar especially if like myself was brought up on this product.As a family we all enjoy marmite, wether on toast, bread sticks or even my girlfriend randomly does dips carrots into it.I sat us down for a late snack to watch television and out came the marmite.I put the product into a bowl so everyone was oblivious if the was anything different about the product, just so I could get and see any honest reactions in there faces.Everybody dipped in and as per normal, big smiles and messy faces.Just as I thought it was once again a thoroughly enjoyed light snack as normal.I progressed once ... MoreLet's start with the packaging.

They were all happy knowing that the salt was reduced and had not effected the taste or any texture of everyone's late night snack and were more impressed it's even better for you to consume as the salt has been reduced. This is something in our household we are trying to do as a family, so knowing one of the favourite household snacks does this and has no way affected any taste or texture, this has become a complete success in our household and something we would definately recommend and certainly purchase again.One very big thumbs up!!

Not sure....

As a lifelong Marmite eater of many decades,I just thought I would give this a try as a healthier option. My first thought on eating it was that it lacks the punch of the traditional Marmite. It seems sweeter to me. I don't eat Marmite that often-crumpets,under beans on toast mainly,so on that basis,I think I will buy the standard version that I have eaten for decades when this jar is empty.

Review of Marmite 250g Marmite Jar

You. EITHER. HATE MARMITE. OR YOU LUV IT. I LUV IT. &.MY CAT LUVES IT. SHE LICKES TOAST TILL MARMITE GONE. REALLY PRICEY NOW. NOW. HAVE TO SCRAPE LAST REMNANTS FROM JAR..SO BEST TO KEEP SMALL JAR IN CUPBOARD SO NOT TO RUN OUT..CATASTROPHE. THAT WOULD BE.

Tasteless goo

What on earth happened to this productOn the love it hate it debate I was always more of a Vegemite fan.But as I get older (and older) my taste buds lean to more and more savoury food.So after forty years of dismissal I decided that rather than getting another jar of Vegemite I’d try the old ‘stronger’ Marmite just for a change.It no longer bares any resemblance to the product I loved to hate.The consistency is gooey and rubbery and it no longer has any ‘bite’. Though it’s been a while I can still remember the taste but this, It’s just shockingly bland.Back to Vegemite for me, much nicer.

Tastes the same as standard Marmite \- but dearer!

To me,this tastes almost exactly the same as standard Marmite - delicious! I can't detect any lack of salt. But can the manufacturers please explain how they can justify an extra 25p per jar,when they've actually reduced one of the ingredients? In this health-conscious day and age,when we're all being encouraged to reduce our intake of fat,salt etc,surely products which have removed or reduced these ingredients should be slightly cheaper ....?
