Process for manufacturing edible fat continuous emulsions comprising 10 to 85 wt. % of a dispersed water-phase and 15 to 90 wt. % of total fat, said process comprising the steps of: a. providing a water-phase; b. providing liquid oil; c. providing fat powder comprising hardstock fat; d. providing hardstock fat in liquid form; e. mixing fat powder comprising hardstock fat, hardstock fat in liquid form and liquid oil to provide an oil-slurry; f. mixing the oil-slurry provided at step 'e' with the water-phase to provide a water-in-oil emulsion, wherein the fat powder is not subjected to temperatures at which a substantial part of the fat powder melts. An edible fat continuous emulsion comprising 10 to 85 wt. % of a dispersed water-phase and 15 to 90 wt. % of total fat, comprising at least 2 wt. %, based on the weight of total fat, of a first hardstock fat with the following solid fat profile: N20 from 65 to 95; N35 from 25 to 55; and further comprising at least 2 wt. %, based on the weight of total fat, of a second hardstock fat with the following solid fat profile: N20 from 5 to 95; N30 below 60, wherein the Quotient-A is from 0.95 to 0.2, and wherein the emulsion has a glossiness-value of at least 4 and a Stevens-value of at least 75, wherein Quotient-A is the FWHM value of an emulsion divided by the FWHM value of the emulsion after rework using a votator process.
