Cookeen




Cookeen is a block of vegetable oil used for making pastry and other baking recipes. It is claimed to be usable straight from the refrigerator.
1934 Van den Berghs introduced Cookeen, made from margarine, as a replacement for lard which was in short supply[1]
Cookeen was later made by Edible Oils, a joint venture between ADM and Princes. The product is produced at a factory in Erith.
The Cookeen brand is marketed by Princes, a British food producer belonging to Mitsubishi.
In October 2006, Cookeen and the other hard vegetable fats manufactured by Edible Oils had the transfat removed due to health concerns
