The hardness is way beyond many of its kind in the market, yet it melts smoothly and with smoothly and abruptly with a highly desirable cooling sensation in the palate. It has excellent stability against oxidation, free from rancidity, soapiness and extraneous matter and impurities. Keko is a non- tempering fat. Due to  its high solids content, Keko possesses: 

• Excellent mould release

• Minimum breakage on de- moulding

• Excellent hardness, snappiness and brittleness

• Excellent gloss and gloss retention

• Abrupt release of flavour

• Excellent shrinkage and optimum working viscosity

Applications
Keko is designed for use it the host summermonths and in the normal tropical enviroment. It is also designed for those applications where larger amounts of coatingingredients containing soft also designed for those applications where larger amounts of coating ingredients containing soft oil are used. The special high solids content in the fat not only provides compatibilty with hidh amounts of diluent fat to give finished product hardness but also provides the end-product with a sahrp melt.
