Where we stand on Marmite
Marmite is a natural product deriving from brewer’s yeast. It is historically a by-product of brewing
It was ‘invented’ by a German scientist Justus von Liebig
Originally Marmite was derived from the Bass brewery in Burton on Trent.
Marmite is salty but also has some health enhancing elements to it including vitamins.
Its recent marketing focuses on a ‘love it or hate it’ element to Marmite, and it is a ‘which side are you on’ food.
Organiser Keith Flett said, while Marmite or a similar product is manufactured and eaten elsewhere in the world it is a quintessentially British item associated with the country’s brewing heritage. Our snap poll shows that with care Marmite is also one of the most quintessentially beard friendly foods
The League holds no brief for the multinational Company that owns Marmite
