This is by far, the best shortening I have found!! I LOVE it for my pie crusts! I weigh out (or measure) how much I am going to use, then put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes BEFORE I put it in the recipe. My crusts come out so flaky!!! I also have been using it in cookies. The flavor of the crusts and cookies are great too. This doesn't overpower anything, very neutral, but seems to add just a hint of lusciousness. Somehow the mix of oils just works so well, its almost buttery. It IS the consistency of a soft butter.
The palm oil is for creating flaky baked goods, the coconut oil provides the added health benefits of lauric acid. This shortening is vegan and contains no dairy, soy or canola! It is organic, non-GMO and Fair Trade certified. The golden color reveals the presence of antioxidant vitamins A & E naturally found in red palm oil.
