Basically, Marmite is a yeast and vegetable extract and Vegemite is a
yeast and malt extract with caramel added. They are pretty different
in flavour, and it is true has Marmite has a stonger flavour. Vegemite
has a better flavour IMO, but then I'm Australian so I would say that
:-)

On the original topic, I'd add that wine lees is also sometimes used
in cheesemaking to form a skin/crust around certain cheeses and
lending a particular flavour.
