I can't speak to the production process, but the end result is very
similar.  Marmite is 'sharper', Vegemite 'earthier', if such adjectives

In North America, at least, they've been gradually watered down over
the years.  Once you could almost cut the spread into cubes; now it
almost drips off the knife.
