Marmite products

Marmite has been around for over a century and is known for its distinctive, salty flavour. It’s made from yeast extract and has a rich, umami profile that people either love or avoid. In the Netherlands, it’s been on supermarket shelves for years, and many people grew up with it. For expats, it’s one of those products that instantly brings back a certain feeling of comfort, that sometimes might be missed.

What you can do with Marmite

While most people enjoy Marmite on bread with butter, there are more ways to use it than you might think. Add a small spoon to soups or stews to deepen the flavour. Mix it into sauces or marinades for extra richness. Some even stir it into pasta water or use it in savoury bakes. Marmite might be simple, but it’s incredibly versatile once you start experimenting.

How Dutch expats enjoy Marmite abroad

Everyone has their own way of using Marmite. Some expats stick to the classic slice of bread with Marmite and cheese. Others add it to gravy for a deeper flavour, or spread it on crackers as a snack. Because it doesn’t need refrigeration, Marmite is easy to store and carry, even during a move. For many Dutch expats, it's a small product with big emotional value.
