Provided are a plastic fat composition having a small trans fatty acid content, which is suitable for roll-in, spreading, kneed-in and similar purposes, and a fat composition to be used in the preceding plastic fat composition. A fat composition which contains the following fats A, B and C and satisfies the following requirements (a) to (c): fat A: a fat which contains 20 to 60% by mass of a saturated fatty acid having 12 to 14 carbon atoms and 40 to 80% by mass of a saturated fatty acid having 16 to 18 carbon atoms in the total constituting fatty acids thereof, and in which the fats have been obtained by ester exchange; fat B: a fat which contains 20 to 60% by mass of palmitic acid, 0.5 to 6% by mass of stearic acid and 30 to 60% by mass of oleic acid in the total constituting fatty acids thereof; and fat C: a liquid oil; (a) the content of fat A in the fat composition being 0.1 to 50% by mass; (b) the content of fat B in the fat composition being 0.1% by mass or more but less than 40% by mass; and (c) the PPO/POP of the fat composition being 0.15 to 1.00. |
