4. Who makes it?
Marmite is now owned by Unilever. It is made by different companies in different parts of the world, and often to a different recipe.
It is produced in the UK by Unilever Bestfoods UK, and this is the original that you should try and seek out.
In New Zealand it is made by the Sanitarium Health Food Company (a Seventh-Day Adventist outfit). It is sold in plastic jars with a white lid, and has a different set of ingredients:
* Yeast
* Sugar
* Salt
* Wheatgerm Extract
* Mineral Salt (508)
* Color (Caramel)
* Herbs
* Spices
* Vitamins: Niacin, Thiamin, Riboflavin
Apart from the addition of Sugar and Caramel, the differences in ingredients are probably just down to the different labelling requirements of the two countries, and are basically the same. The addition of sugar is what gives NZ Marmite its
"weaker" (some would say "less rancid") flavor.
