A 150g wedge of Aged Red Leicester and Marmite turned up in my local supermarket: £3, exclusive to Tesco, made under licence by the Ilchester Cheese Co in Somerset. The pack says fourteen months aged and a strength rating of five, which is a braver choice of base than the mild Red Leicester I had assumed, and a more interesting one than the cheddar versions that came before it. The Tesco reviews average 4.5 stars with nothing between five and one, and they agree on one flaw that is not the flavour. Buy it now, work out whether you like it later.

Marmite products: the complete range, from the jar to the snacks
Marmite is no longer just a jar. The full range in one place: the classic spread, the Squeezy bottle and extra-strong XO, Marmite peanut butter, the snack line of crisps and popcorn, and the limited editions that appear and then sell out.
Marmite Squeezy: the case for the bottle, and the small Marmite-jar argument it inherits
The Squeezy bottle solved three real problems with the jar: the knife, the contamination, and the wasted last third. When the bottle wins, when the jar wins, and why the recipe inside is subtly different.

The Jolly Hog put Marmite in a sausage, and Colman's in the one next to it
The Jolly Hog launched two co-branded sausages in March 2026, one with Colman's and one with Marmite, at £4.50 for a pack of six. Both use 80 per cent British outdoor-bred RSPCA Assured pork. The Marmite one carries three per cent actual Marmite plus Marmite's own B-vitamin profile, and it works, because sausage meat is the sort of fatty savoury thing Marmite improves rather than fights. The Colman's twin is rated 2.3 out of 5 by the same shoppers who give this one full marks.
Marmite Hummus is real, and it is mostly fine
Marmite has launched a hummus, as a permanent product, in the chilled aisle. It is, to mild surprise, mostly fine and actually quite useful.

The final Elton John Marmite jar wraps a four-year, £1 million partnership for the AIDS Foundation. The Dodger Stadium design is the best of the run.
M&S launches a Marmite caramel sauce, because of course they did
M&S launches a Marmite caramel sauce for Christmas. The word 'swalty' is regrettable. The sauce itself, surprisingly, works on ice cream.
Marmite popcorn: the Joe & Seph's bag, what it tastes like, and how to make a better version at home
