Mellorine is an often hydrogenated-vegetable oil alternative to dairy designed to "mimic" real cream.

Mellorine is a lower-cost imitation of ice cream, using fats other than butterfat.

Mellorine was a product of necessity after World War II.

In Canada and elsewhere, the term is often used on imitations of ice cream which do not satisfy its legal definition (e.g., mellorine).

Ramar's award-winning flavors come from it's dedication to keep mellorine out of all of it's products.

Cottonseed oil found peacetime use in salad dressings, mayonnaise, and in the ice-cream substitute mellorine.

Mellorine is produced by freezing, while stirring, a pasteurized mix of milk-derived nonfat solids and animal or vegetable fat (or both).

Originally produced by Sealtest Ice Cream Parlor in the United States (and branded by Ault Foods) as an ice cream, it no longer meets the legal definition of ice cream due to a change in the recipe; the high content of palm oils (see Mellorine).
