Bovril is a savory yeast extract, sold in a distinctive jar and made in Burton on Trent by Unilever UK. Often made
into a drink by diluting with hot water, it can also be used as a flavouring for soups, stews and porridge or used
as a spread on bread or toast, similar to Marmite. It's a healthy source of B vitamins and for generations a warm

| Our apologies for being out of stock. We currently do NOT have a date for re-stocking. With the lifting of the UK beef export ban, Unilever has changed the recipe back to the beef extract version only and so the US FDA will not allow commercial importing. (Could try eBay direct from England?) Email us if you want to be put on a one-time notification list if it ever comes in again (but don't hold your breath!) |
