The word appears in a title. It's a Colombian document. The word also appears in another document as "Aliñado Graso" and is included in a list with other products such as "margarina industrial", "manteca" and "grasa hidrogenada".
Here is the title:

This was a hard one! Thank you both for your help. I was able to rule out "shortening" because I found a link that used both the terms "shortening" and "aliñado" so I knew that it couldn't be the same thing (http://www.delllano.com/margarina.htm). Kellyn's link (http://www.marketresearch.com/map/prod/722224.html) proved to be invaluable and going through the complete list of products, I was able to narrow it down to "bakery margarine". I used the link that Susana provided (as well as the other 2 that I found) for the definitions of "aliñado graso" and compared the definition of "bakery margarine" and it seems to match. This is an educated guess but I was not able to find anything else, besides "pastry margarine" but that is used for puff pastries. I decided to go with "bakery" because this site (http://www.acegral.com/margarinas.html) describes it for more than just pastries (cakes, tarts, cookies, sweets). I'm giving the points to kellyn because her link helped me come up with a suitable translation. If I ever do get confirmation on the term, I will update the glossary. Cheers! :-) 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
