In one aspect of the invention, a method is provided for manufacture of an edible fat containing product which is a water-in-oil emulsion having discrete droplets of an oil-in-water emulsion dispersed therein. The method includes the steps of providing an oil-in-water emulsion at a temperature where the oil phase is liquid. A separate water-in-oil emulsion is provided at a temperature wherein the oil phase is liquid. The water-in-oil emulsion is cooled to a temperature such that at least about 5% of the oil phase is crystallized. The oil-in-water emulsion is combined with the water-in-oil emulsion and the combined emulsions are immediately cooled with agitation so that the oil phase of the water-in-oil emulsion substantially crystallizes to entrap discrete droplets of the oil-in-water emulsion.
An edible fat-containing product comprising a water-in-oil emulsion wherein the oil phase in the water-in-oil emulsion has at least 5% by weight of an oil which crystallizes at a temperature of 20.degree. C. and wherein the water-in-oil emulsion has discrete droplets of an oil-in-water emulsion dispersed therein.
A method for manufacture of an edible fat-containing product which is a water-in-oil emulsion having discrete droplets of an oil-in-water emulsion dispersed therein, the method comprising:
