Product Information

It might not be the most appealing thing to Americans, but products like Bovril and Marmite contain high levels of vitamins C and E, which have been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer. Bovril can be made into a drink (referred to in the UK as a " beef tea") by diluting with hot water or, less commonly, with milk. [1] It can be used as a flavouring for soups, broth, stews or porridge, or as a spread, especially on toast in a similar fashion to Marmite and Vegemite.

Some 130 years ago a Scotsman spotted a gap in the market. Tasked with supplying preserved beef from the ranches of North America for Napoleon III’s army, following their defeat due to starvation during the 1870/71 Siege of Paris, John Lawson Johnston saw the potential for a beef extract with added protein. He produced an extract made by heating carcasses of cattle and reducing the liquids that came off into a residue which was mixed with powdered dried meat. This substance, which Johnston believed was truly nutritious, overcame all the problems associated with the transportation of meat across thousands of miles of ocean.
