Abstract: The invention relates to a fat blend comprising 2-35 parts by weight of hardstock, 30-98 parts by weight of oil liquid at room temperature and 0-35 parts by weight of hydrogenated fat having a slip melting point of 25.degree.-45.degree. C. The fat blend can be used for producing margarines, low calorie margarines containing e.g. 35-60% by wt. of fat, and cooking fats.The hardstock is an interesterified hydrogenated blend of (1) triglycerides derived from a fat rich in fatty acid residues having 16-18 carbon atoms, most of which are saturated, and (2) an olein fraction of a fat rich in lauric acid residues. The hydrogenation can be carried out before or after interesterification. The ratio of (1):(2) can be (20-80):(80-20), preferably (40-58):(60-42).
