<p>The present invention relates to a spread, to a process for preparing the spread, to a cream from which the spread can be prepared, and, to equipment for performing the abovementioned process. An object of the invention is to prepare spreads with an inhomogeneous structure and improved properties. The invention provides a process for the preparation of a spread by churning of a cream wherein the cream is formed by admixture of two creams at differing temperatures shortly before churning, and does not equilibrate before churning begins. A churning plant for performance of the method comprises means for supplying non-equilibrated cream to a churn (15) i.e. a heat exchanger (8), a cream supply line (7) to deliver cream to said heat exchanger, a cream discharge line (9/12) and a bypass line (11) communicating with both the supply line and the discharge line.</p> |
