My review will not be devoted entirely useful product, so all adherents healthy eating please pass by. On the agenda in this review is the spread of the vegetable fat TM Kremlevskoe. Recently, all the products have been brought home by my husband, so this time he brought me a product that was not quite familiar to me.

I bought it according to the recommendations of clients - very many people like this spread not only for baking, so my faithful decided to experiment with them. I paid 50 rubles for a package weighing 450 grams - this is the standard price for maragarine, of course, you can't buy creamy mals for this money. But no one talks about oil, because the packaging clearly states that this is a vegetable-fat spread.

In the composition, as it was supposed to be seen, the first indicated are oils, water, followed by preservatives.

Externally, the spread of TM Kremlin is similar to butter, but in real life it is very far from it. Its taste is more delicate than that of margarine, there is no this specific smell.

It melts quickly, spreads on bread very easily. I tried this spread on sandwiches - I won't say that tastier than butter, but in the absence of it, this option is quite decent. But I do not advise giving to children - a lot of chemistry in the composition. I recommend this spread for baking - it is better than regular margarine.

For reference:

Spread- substitute butter containing vegetable fats. There are three types of spreads:

• creamy vegetable contains> 50% milk fat
• vegetable-creamy ones contain 15-49% milk fat
• vegetable and fatty acids do not contain milk fat

On the product label "Kremlin" inscription - " delicate taste cream ". On the lid "Village" a cow is drawn (clearly suggestive of a natural dairy product). On the package "Ghee" "Scandinavia" even GOST is indicated, and if you do not read the composition, it seems - here it is, real high-quality oil!

We carefully read what is written in small print on the back of the package. "Kremlin" and "Village" turned out to be vegetable-fat spreads. AlpOil "Ghee"- vegetable oil-mixture. "Scandinavia"- cooking oil. And the GOST, which is indicated on the label of the latter, has nothing to do with butter. This is GOST 28414-89, which is called "Fats for cooking, confectionery and bakery industries."

Andrey Mosov, head of the expert area of ​​NP Roskontrol, doctor:

“These fatty foods do contain less cholesterol than butter. But many of these products contain hydrogenated vegetable oils trans isomers of fatty acids, which are very hazardous to health. They cause atherosclerosis, which significantly increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and the World Health Organization calls for their use in the food industry to be completely abandoned. The problem is that when buying a product, the consumer does not know what exactly he will receive. And if he bought it, thinking that it was butter, then here the consumer is misled ”.

What are yogurt producers hiding?

Alexander Borisov, Chairman of the Roskontrol Consumer Rights Protection Society:

“A conscientious manufacturer who makes quality products and makes the label easy to read. If you see that the composition is written in small print on a low-contrast background, you can safely put the product back on the shelf - this indicates that the manufacturer has something to hide. "

Condensed milk - does GOST guarantee quality?

Not everyone loves butter, but about it useful properties known to everyone. It is included in the list of products that are purchased regularly. Store shelves are full of a variety of beautiful packaging and familiar and pleasant names. When you look at the Kremlevskoye oil, you can immediately see that high-level specialists work in the marketing department of the manufacturing plant. But the buyer pays primarily not for the packaging, but for the goods. To understand how much beautiful wrapper corresponds to the quality, you need to figure out what kind of product it is, what is its composition and how it differs from similar products.

Brand "Kremlin"

In 2001, one of the oldest food industry enterprises - the Nizhny Novgorod Meat and Fat Plant (founded in 1893) - launched a new product on the market. It belonged to butter, but had some differences, which was openly stated in the advertising slogan. The video claimed that the usual product contains unusually low cholesterol.

The manufacturer of the Kremlevskoye oil does not exaggerate or embellish. The food product is a mixture of milk and vegetable fats. The product is a surrogate for butter. If you look more closely at the packaging of the goods, then the word "oil" does not appear anywhere. But this was not always the case, and until 2003, "Kremlin" was listed as a light oil. It was this year that a new interstate standard was introduced for such products under the name "Spreads and melted mixtures" (GOST R 52100-2003).

The product fully complies with the established standard. But the manufacturer indicates the word "spread" in small print on the back of the package. Although this action is correct legally, some buyers believe that it is dishonest in relation to them.

Oil "Kremlin": composition

The plant-fat spread has a lot of fans. The product earned such popularity precisely because of its composition.

• Deodorized oil - oil obtained from vegetable raw materials, which has undergone vacuum treatment with dry high temperature steam. The component is not specified in quantitative terms, but comes first, which means that it is at least the basis.
• Dry milk whey is a liquid dried to a powdery state that remains after curdling and filtering milk. It is an additional product in the manufacture of cheese, cottage cheese.
• Emulsifier E471, the most widely used in the food industry. It is necessary to stabilize the consistency.
• Preservatives. Sodium benzoate E211 is added to increase shelf life. It is able to inhibit the growth and development of yeasts and molds. Potassium sorbate (E202) also helps to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.

What is spread?

The word Spread in translation from English means "smearing". This is the name of products based on vegetable and milk fats. It is allowed to add vitamins to the product, flavors, flavors. The product was known to the consumer for a long time, but the word "oil" was present in its name, which was misleading.

Spreads are divided into 3 subtypes:

• Creamy vegetable oils are most similar to butter. They contain over 50% milk fat.
• Vegetable and creamy. The milk fat content in this subspecies ranges from 15 to 49%. The so-called Kremlin butter belongs to this subspecies. The spread contains 13.05% milk fat.
• Vegetable and fatty. There is virtually no animal fat in them. They have a lot in common with margarine. But, unlike margarine, the use of hydrogenated fats and trans fatty acids is limited in the spread.

How to tell a spread from butter

To understand the difference, you need to have a good idea of ​​what each of the compared products is. But not everyone has a technological background. But everyone will be able to perform a series of simple actions that allow you to determine with absolute accuracy what kind of product is hidden under the name "oil".

• If the fat content indicated in the composition is higher than 60%, then this is butter.
• The cholesterol content in the spread is 0%. Usually, the seller focuses on this as a positive property.
• After purchase, you need to cut off a little from the product and leave it on the table for an hour. After this time, the butter will simply melt, and the spread will spread over the dishes.
• If the product is placed in a microwave oven and closed with a lid, then after 10 seconds the spread will “shoot”, and the butter will simply melt quietly.
• The oil in the hot skillet will spread evenly, forming a yellow spot, and the spread will turn into a liquid with greasy spots.

Advantages of using Kremlevskoye brand oil

If a manufacturer produces a product, then someone needs it. Despite the skeptical and unfriendly statements, a large number of people are buying the spread. And their actions are dictated not only by the low cost of the goods.

Butter "Kremlin" or, to put it correctly, the spread has various awards. Many brands are fighting for them, they are not bought, but deserved. The product won the award " Healthy product". Consumers appreciated the lack of cholesterol in the spread and balanced fat content. It can be consumed every day, even when dieting.

The product with a low milk fat content can be consumed by people with lactose deficiency and allergies to milk and dairy products.

The surrogate for butter is not so fatty, but it contains vitamins D and A in the same amount. The student is more likely to eat spread than butter.

Cons of "Kremlin"

Spread, like any other product, has its drawbacks. When choosing a product, they must also be taken into account.

• Milk fat, which is part of the "Kremlin" butter, contains very little linoleic acid. Its concentration is only 1-4%. It protects blood vessels, participates in endocrine processes.
• Unscrupulous manufacturers use palm or other low-quality oil to reduce the cost of goods. Such foods have a negative effect on the body.
• The product is low in calories in relation to oil, therefore, it is not suitable for full nutrition, especially for the body or during the rehabilitation period after treatment of not very serious diseases.
