New leadership at Unilever signals potential sale or spin-off of iconic British brands including Marmite as part of aggressive portfolio streamlining strategy.
Marmite is a savoury food spread made from yeast extract, originally developed in 1902 in Burton upon Trent, England. Manufactured by Unilever, it is famous for its distinctive strong, salty flavour and the polarizing reactions it produces—leading to the iconic slogan "Love it or hate it." My "I Love Marmite" website has been celebrating Marmite since the turn of the millennium, exploring over 120 years of Marmite history, culture, recipes and utter bonkers.
