Marmite is a savoury spread that shoppers either ‘love or hate’ and it’s safe to say the new flavour has caused a stir.
The truffle flavour is available now in Sainsbury’s, and has been described as ‘deliciously decadent’ by Marmite on its Facebook page. Sharing the new flavour to its one million followers, Marmite fans were quick to express their opinion on the new luxurious edition.
Following the success of its chilli flavour, other unique variations of the controversial spread include peanut butter, cream cheese, houmous and more recently, hot cross buns.

The new limited edition Marmite is proving popular amongst some shoppers, as the post gained over 1,000 likes and 700 comments. Some were quick to tag their friends and share their excitement, others branded the new flavour as ‘yuck.’
One shopper said: “Love love marmite , so I must try the truffle flavour!” A second commented: “Just driven to 3 different stores and over the border into Cornwall to get it. Brilliant service from Torpoint Sainsbury’s.”
A third added: “I love marmite and have been having it every day for weeks now.” Some shoppers weren’t entirely convinced though. One Marmite fan said: “I think this might be a step too far, even for a die hard Marmite lover like me.”
A fifth said: “Can’t wait to try it. How does the flavour of the marmite not overpower the truffle though?” Although the Marmite currently isn’t available at Sainsbury’s online, you can find it at your local store, but you’ll need to be quick!
