I am looking for parve margarine that does not have partially-hydrogenated oils, but it’s really been a problem. Do you have any suggestions of brands or alternatives other than using olive oil?
This is an important question because most margarines are dairy, and the most prominent pareve brands (Fleischmann’s unsalted and light sticks, Mother’s) use hydrogenated oils (trans fats). For spreadable pareve margarines that are free of trans-fats, I recommend Smart Balance Light (Brandeis butter, as we call it), Earth Balance, or Fleischmann’s Light — all in “tub” form. We make a tasty spread by mixing one of these with finely chopped chives and garlic — great on challah. For pareve stick margarine that’s free of trans-fats, I recommend either Earth Balance Buttery Sticks (salted) or Earth Balance Shortening (unsalted). They both work great when baking.
