An edible spread which comprises a water and oil emulsion in which the fat phase is essentially a single, natural vegetable fat and processes for producing such a spread. While certain non-physical properties of the fat phase, such as its color, may be due to the presence of other fats than that responsible for the characteristic physical properties, the fat phase of the spreads of the invention contain low amounts of such natural additives; the physical properties of the fat phase are essentially determined by a single fat which has not been subjected to any chemical treatment other than refining.
