Abstract
The present invention relates to packaging edible solid fats, and more particularly to a two-piece packaging system comprising an outer casing of container or similar rigid material, defining the overall shape of the package, and an inner sealed bag of a thin, flexible packaging material. In the practice of the present invention, the fats are heated to a molten state, introduced into the inner sealed bag, and allowed to cool and harden in the bag.
