The present invention provides an oily product containing a fat/oil as a continuous phase. The fat/oil contains SOS, HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL. The mass ratio (HLM/HLL) of the HLM content to the HLL content is 1.0 or more. The mass ratio (HMM+HLM+HLL+HHM+HHL)/SOS of the total content of HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL to the SOS content is 0.9 to 8. In HMM, HLM, HLL, HHM and HHL, fatty acids having a carbon number of 20 or more occupy less than 3% by mass of the total constituent fatty acids H.
