Abstract

Chocolate is provided containing a hard fat comprising a mixture of a natural, high POP/POS/SOS-fat and a narrowly defined SOS/POS-fat. The hard fat lies within an area defined in FIG. 18, 19 or 20; in the absence of the SOS/POS-fat, the hard fat lies outside the area. Particular mixtures are also claimed for use as hard fats. Palm mid-fraction is a preferred natural, high POP/POS/SOS-fat.
