carlosdesilva Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Is there just one Marmite factory ?I just wondered if supermarket own brand yeast exract was made in the same place,cant see it viable to have loads of yeast extract factorys,it all tastes near enough the same.I seem to recall that its a by product from getting starch from maize,i know i went to a big refinery at Tilbury docks to get corn steep liqour and in there reception there was all the packaging of the products this starch went into and im sure marmite was mentioned.

Imperfection Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 i thought it was a by product of the sewage industry. No-the beer industry! Have no idea if other companies make it for supermarket own brands though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Marmite is the effluent from Hell. Fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusta Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Its a by-product of the brewing industry (waste yeast), their factory is next to a brewery (cant remember which one) and its made by Unilever so I doubt they produce the cheaper stuff. All you need it dark ale yeast so most yeast-extracts will taste the same! Edited June 18, 2010 by agusta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Its a by-product of the brewing industry (waste yeast), their factory is next to a brewery (cant remember which one) and its made by Unilever so I doubt they produce the cheaper stuff. All you need it dark ale yeast so most yeast-extracts will taste the same! It is as near to Marstons brewery as you can get, and is made in Burton, not sure about the cheap stuff though. Did you know, 1 out of every 8 pints drunk in Britain is brewed in Burton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
