The method comprising the steps of exposing the oil to glycerol in the presence of an enzyme catalyst under conditions sufficient to convert the triacylglycerols to mono- and/or di-acylglycerols; and cooling the oil to yield the structured fat having a second monoacylgycerol, diacylglycerol, triacylglycerol and fatty acid composition, wherein the fatty acid composition of the oil is essentially retained in the structured fat. The structured fat provides a healthy substitute for saturated fats in foods.
