Qu'est-ce que le/la/l'Soft Margarine ?
Soft margarine is an emulsion of vegetable oils, water, and sometimes milk solids, formulated to remain spreadable even when refrigerated. It is a popular butter alternative, often chosen for its plant-based origin, lower saturated fat content, or cost-effectiveness. Available in various formulations, it's widely used in baking, cooking, and as a spread.
"Many soft margarines are specifically designed for spreading and may not perform identically to butter in all baking applications, particularly those requiring precise fat structure for aeration like pastry or certain cookies."
