What is the difference between Marmite and Vegemite?

Question

I know Marmite is English and Vegemite is Australian but they're both made from yeast extract so what's the difference?

Answer 1

I have had both in fact I still have a 125 ml jar of Vegemite in my frig, now they are both banned from Canada, taste wise I found the VM more salty and the MM more yeasty, I use/used them for flavouring dishes and on toast as most do, I had a few small packets of the Vegemite Cheezy Bites awhile back, it is different.

Answer 2

Marmite it also a yeast extract and 100% vegie friendly. I prefer it as its got a stronger flavour.

Answer 3

To some there is the world of difference and to others they taste the same. Marmite depends on where it is made as I believe British Marmite does taste differently to our NZ stuff. Vegemite is made in Australia and tastes the same as NZ.



They are made slighly differently and Vegemite is a non meat product which makes it acceptable to V&V's Marmite uses meat products (beef)
