Vegetable oil spread: the vegan alternative to butter, margarine and palm oil

Goodbye butter, here comes thespreadable oil indicated for vegetarian diets e Vegan but also for those who are lactose or gluten intolerant or who want a lighter alternative to vegetable margarines. A 100% vegetable product, the result of ten years of university research, conducted at the Rheology laboratory of the University of Calabria and patented at European level to protect its composition. In practice it is a spreadable cream based on extra virgin olive oil or sunflower seeds, not obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of the oil but through the use of emulsifiers of vegetable origin and without palm oil, GMOs, lactose or sugars . It is produced by Reoli', a company founded in 2015 as a start-up with the aim of research, development and implementation of a technological revolution in the world of edible fats.

More and more Italians marry the vegan diet, perhaps for ethical, sometimes environmental or simply trendy reasons. What is certain is that following a diet of this type has now become easier than in the past, as there are many more products and finding them is less complicated.

It is no coincidence that in recent years many new brands, as well as well-established companies, have entered this segment by betting and investing more and more resources in the creation of products vegan. A strategic choice also guided by the fact that nowadays consumers are increasingly attentive to ingredients and their quality and origin; as a result, producers have had to adapt to new consumer habits by modifying the lines and formulas or creating new ones.
