Cenovis

Cenovis is a product based on yeast extract similar to Vegemite and Marmite, rich in vitamin B1. In the form of a dark brown food paste, it is used to flavor soups, sausages or salads. The most popular way to consume Cenovis is however to spread it on a slice of buttered bread.

Cenovis is popular in Switzerland, where it was developed in 1931 and is produced today by the company "Cenovis SA".

People are said to usually have a very strong feeling for Cenovis when they taste some for the first time, either loving or hating it.It is usually cited as an acquired taste, being a product which one has to grow up with to appreciate.

The company presents the following story behind Cenovis [ [http://www.cenovis.ch/en/tradition_en.html Cenovis: a tradition ] ] :

In 1931, a brewer recycled the yeast used for the fermentation of beer: vegetal substances very rich in vitamin B1. After several tests, the product was perfected and a group of Swiss brewers launched Cenovis; the product was an immediate success and the famous spread was so good that it was included in the rations for Swiss soldiers… Healthy and strong soldiers!
