Edible oil or fat and edible oil or fat mixture

An edible oil or fat mixture comprising an edible oil or fat in a proportion of at least 20 wt. % based on the whole edible oil or fat, said edible oil or fat being interesterified oil or fat obtained by interesterification of:

• (A) polyunsaturated fatty acid base oil or fat containing polyunsaturated fatty acid residual groups (n.gtoreq.3) in a proportion of at least 20 wt. %;
• and
• (B) saturated fatty acid base oil or fat containing polyunsaturated fatty acid residual groups in a proportion of not greater than 5 wt. %, and comprising:
• (a) 5%-30% of polyunsaturated fatty acid residual groups (n.gtoreq.3);
• and
• (b) 50%-80% of saturated fatty acid residual groups, both based on the weight of the fatty acid residual groups;
• and having the following properties:
• (c) iodine value:
• at least 35;
• (d) melting point:
• 35.degree. C. or higher, and
• (e) POV as measured when initial POV.ltoreq.0.1 meg/kg and when stored at 80.degree. C. for 15 days:
• 1/5 to 1/10 of equivalent oil mixture's POV.
