Love it or hate it, but extra-strong Marmite to go on sale

28th February 2010

An extra-strong version of Marmite will go on sale next month, it was revealed today.
The savoury spread, which people are said to either love or hate, is made with yeast from four specially-selected breweries.
Marmite Extra Old, or XO, which will hit supermarket shelves from March 8, is the result of the secret blend maturing for 28 days - four times longer than the standard product.
This allows the flavour and texture to intensify, creating a spread so strong and full-bodied it can only be appreciated by the most devoted fans, according to the manufacturer.
The XO recipe was developed with the help of the 'Marmararti' - a group of committed and vocal Marmite fanatics who tried samples and gave feedback on the flavour.
Marmite developer Grahame Walker said: 'XO was created purely for passionate lovers to indulge.
'Whilst the overall characteristics are the same as the original recipe, the specifically developed formulation and longer maturation period allows the flavour and thicker texture to develop to a much higher level.
'The resultant blend creates an intense sensory experience that can only be appreciated by the most extreme Marmite devotees.'
Marmite XO has a recommended retail price of £3.99 and comes in a black and gold jar housed in a black presentation box.

i love this almost poetic ode: 'The resultant blend creates an intense sensory experience that can only be appreciated by the most extreme Marmite devotees.'

My friend Gail sent me a jar once and we passed it around the members of the site. Eric had the best reaction... he video taped himself trying it. The jar disappeared along the way and not everyone got to try it.

I think Vizzy near died.

Rhubarb's daughter used to eat this crap by the spoonful out of the jar.
