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.

WeMite: Marmite bet on England and picked the middle jar
For the 2026 World Cup, Marmite renamed itself WeMite and released jars sized to how much you believed: reach the quarters, reach the semis, or go and win it. The jars went out through Heathrow Express to fans flying to the States. England then lost 1-2 to Argentina in the semi-final on 15 July, which means the medium jar was right. There was also a Scotland jar, carrying the saltire and the words get out of the group, that almost nobody wrote about. Scotland did not get out of the group.
Every Marmite-flavoured snack on UK shelves: crisps, popcorn, peanuts, rice cakes and the rest
Every Marmite-flavoured snack on UK shelves in 2026: Walkers crisps, Joe & Seph's popcorn, KP peanuts, the discontinued Special K cereal and Cadbury chocolate, and what the licensing strategy tells you about the brand.
Ma'amite came back for the Platinum Jubilee, and then the reign it toasted ended
Marmite reissued the Ma'amite pun for the 2022 Platinum Jubilee: purple Union-Jack label, yellow lid, royal warrant. Then the Queen died three months later, turning the last commemorative jar of her reign into an accidental full stop.
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.
Elton's last Marmite jar, and a million quid for the AIDS Foundation
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 has made a popcorn slab
In late June, a limited-edition Marmite popcorn slab arrived on supermarket shelves. Imagine a flat bar, roughly the size of a thick chocolate slab, made of caramelised popcorn fused together with a Marmite glaze. You break a piece off and eat it as you would a flapjack. Stupid idea, on paper.
The final Elton John Pride jar, and a million quid for the AIDS Foundation
Marmite has just put out the fourth and last in its limited-edition Pride jar series with the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The 2025 jar is themed around I'm Still Standing , Elton's 1983 single, and it carries off the run with the strongest design of the four.
Marmite board games: every official board game licensed with the yeast extract jar
Marmite, over the years, has produced or licensed three actual board and card games for the home market. None of them is going to make it onto the BoardGameGeek top hundred, but all three exist, and all three are genuinely on-brand in a way most licensed games are not.
