		Bovril was based in Argentina and at the height of the Bovril empire the company owned ranches in Argentina that totalled the equivalent size of half of England, and owning over 1.5 million livestock.
		It is served at the Groucho Club and is associated with football culture, commonly being drunk on the terraces from thermos flasks in winter.

	Boston.com / Business / Bovril to lose beef to attract vegetarians
		The beef is being taken out of Bovril, makers of the British essence of bouillon announced Thursday, saying they want to appeal to vegetarians and overcome export restrictions imposed because of mad cow disease.
		Bovril beef extract has been a staple of British kitchen cupboards for more than 100 years, but the central beef ingredient will be replaced by a yeast mix, said Unilever Bestfoods UK, a subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever PLC.
		Bovril, sold in a distinctive dark glass pot with a red lid, can be mixed with hot water to create a warming winter drink or be added to soups and stews instead of stock cubes.

	Guardian \| Bovril drops the beef to go vegetarian
		The celebrated winter-warmer Bovril has ended more than a century of boiling up beef extract - after rigorous blind-tasting found that savoury yeast went down better with most regular drinkers.
		The new Bovril apes rival Marmite in using yeast extract, which is vegetarian in spite of its meaty taste.
		Bovril was invented by the Scottish entrepreneur John Lawson Johnston, who built a factory in Quebec, Canada, to cope with his enormous windfall from the French ministry of war.

	Random Rant: Bovril
		Following a proper drubbing by the then-just-getting-warmed-up Germans in the war of 1870-1871, French military authorities insisted that the defeat was solely down to the fact that the French army didn't have enough beef to eat, and not - as the rest of the world firmly believed - because said French army was shit.

	New vegetarian formulation for Bovril brand
		BSE was a factor in the sales decline of Bovril experienced in the 1990s, so replacing the beef extract with a yeast mix (45 per cent yeast extract in the new formulation) and consequently building a vegetarian profile for the brand will make for easier market access in certain export markets.
		The new Bovril formulation, rolled out in July this year, will overcome this concern.
		Yeast extract is obtained from the yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae formed in the brewing of beer.
