Vegetable fat, OPAL, 10 kg, 414095

OPAL FRY Vegetable Fat (Shortening) A versatile ingredient composed entirely of palm fat. Perfect for making shortcrust pastry, American-style cookies, enriched buns, and bread. The shortening coats gluten strands, creating a crumbly (“short”) dough texture and delivering exceptional softness to baked goods. Thanks to its lack of water and high smoke point, this fat is ideal for professional frying and deep-frying applications. Please note: this product is not intended for lamination and is therefore not recommended for making croissants or classic puff pastry, where distinct layered structure is required. When whipped, the shortening effectively traps air, adding volume to baked goods and providing stability to creamy preparations.
