The popular British spread Marmite can be found in Australia, but under an alternative name for legal reasons.
Our Mate - The British Marmite sold in Australia
but beware… there is an imposter about…
The Australian Marmite
but it is nothing like the British one.
Vegemite is also a popular Australian product, that people either love or hate, and you may wish to try it…
Australian Vegemite
but again, nothing like British Marmite / Our Mate.
This used to be for sale in local Coles and Woolies, but it seems to have disappeared. Anyone seen it for sale in the South Brisbane (ie Cleveland) area please?
Can get original Marmite in Oz shop, but $18.00 a jar.
Many thanks.
The Woolworths in Victoria Point used to sell it, and so did ALDI a while ago, but I haven’t seen it recently, but then I haven’t looked for it either.
I’ll have to look when I am at the shops next time.
Hope it isn’t discontinued !!
Woolworth have just advised me that they do not stock “Our Mate”.
I have asked Unilever in the UK if they are able to help.
It is available in Pick’n pay in Sunnybank Hills. It costs $4.79 for 125 grams but they somehow only charged me $3.51. This store also stocks other UK products eg Colmans mustard, Robinsons Barley water etc
The back-stories to Kiwi Marmite; Vegemite etc – and why REAL Marmite has to be sold as Our Mate are all in my book: “The Mish-Mash Dictionary of Marmite”. It’s informative, entertaining, serious, fun… but then I would say that!
