VEGEMITE has been proudly made in Port Melbourne, Australia since 1923. Can you believe it has been 100 years since VEGEMITE graced the shelves of Australian grocers?
Dr. Cyril P Callister from the Fred Walker Company developed a spread from brewer’s yeast. In 1923, Dr. Cyril P Callister developed a tasty, spreadable product that was labelled ‘Pure Vegetable Extract’, which later became known as ‘VEGEMITE’!
During World War II the Armed Forces bought VEGEMITE in bulk, due to the nutritional value of the product. Fred Walker’s company had to ration VEGEMITE to meet the demand. Once World War II had ended - coupled with the post-war migrant and baby boom - VEGEMITE was well and truly a part of Australia’s history.
