The composition further comprises SSU type triglycerides in an amount of at least 15% by weight based on the total amount of SUS type triglycerides and SSU type triglycerides. The hard butter composition is a non-tempering type hard butter composition having good meltability in the mouth, which is free from trans acids and lauric acid. A process for producing the hard butter composition is also disclosed.
