A ‘match made in heaven’ has secured a spot amongst the shelves of a UK supermarket giant.
Whether you love it or hate it, Marmite has been a staple British tradition for decades.
And now, Marmite Cheddar, the 'perfect combination' of Ilchester Cheddar Cheese and Marmite, the nation's much-loved spread, is available to buy in Iceland stores across the UK.
Ffion Davies, Senior Brand Manager for Ilchester, said: “Marmite Cheddar is the perfect combination of delicious British Cheddar, blended with a tasty hint of salty and savoury Marmite.
As a respite from the excitement of JKR and the HCA, look at the size of my new jar of marmite! I had no idea you could get such big ones. I’m quite giddy with it! pic.twitter.com/iyDFyKEFni

"The cheese has been a hit with consumers since it launched with people saying, ‘it makes the best cheese on toast ever!’ and that it is ‘so creamy and flavourful’.
“The listing in Iceland is very welcome and will give Iceland shoppers the chance to snap up this tasty cheese and enjoy it in a sandwich, melted on some toast or in a number of hearty dishes.
"It makes a great addition to a creamy pasta sauce or crumbled over a jacket potato. The list is endless.”
Jolanda Wells, Licensing Manager, at Unilever, said: “We know that the purchase intent from shoppers for products that pair Marmite and cheese is 25% higher than for Marmite alone, and we’re confident that Iceland customers will enjoy the distinctive flavour of Marmite Cheddar.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
