Glass jars of Bovril and Marmite

---

Bovril was invented in 1886 by a Scot called John Lawson Johnston. It was originally called “ Johnston’s Fluid Beef” but was changed to Bovril in 1871. Bovril is an institution and it's reputed that Captain Scott and Ernest Shackleton supped on a cup of Bovril after a chilling 4-hour march near the South Pole on Christmas day in 1902. It has been exported to countries around the world for many years and is produced by the Unilever group. Marmite is made from brewer's yeast that's been used to ferment sugars into alcohol. The Marmite Food Company (later Marmite Ltd) was set up in Burton on Trent in 1902. Marmite is a trademark of Unilever.
