Triglyceride fat which comprises HUU triglycerides and at least 18 wt. % of HOH and HLH triglycerides, while the ratio HOH:HLH is in the range 30/70 to 85/15, which fat is characterized in that the fat contains at least 20 wt. % of HUU and 8–30 wt. % of SOO triglycerides, where O denotes the residue of oleic acid, S of stearic acid, L of linoleic acid, U of oleic acid or linoleic acid and H denotes the residue of a saturated fatty acid with more than 15 carbon atoms with the proviso that at least 50 wt. % of the saturated fatty acids in HOH, HLH and HUU are stearic acid. The fat is obtained preferably by blending two natural high stearic fats.
