margarina cremosa


Explanation:
O Imace (International Margarine Association of the Countries of Europe)
distingue três consistências de margarina:
sólida (hard);cremosa (soft) e líquida(liquid).
A margarina cremosa costuma ser comercializada em tubos

'International Margarine Association of the Countries of Europe"

Margarine products are designed for different usages to fit multiple cooking methods. You can use it as such or as an ingredient in other food products. Many bakeries and food manufacturers use margarine for their products. IMACE also represents many business to business margarine companies.

Margarine comes in 3 forms: soft, liquid and hard. Apart from that, it comes in fat levels varying from 10% to 90%. This makes margarine a multi-usage product.http://www.imace.org/about-margarine/how-to-use-it/
