Soft, Brittle or Hard Oils, Butter and Fat
When we say soft, Brittle or Hard we are referring to what the Oil, Butter or Fat will do in room temperature. Soft oils will stay in liquid form. Brittle oils will stay solid in room temperature but will require some chipping or scraping in order to break them apart. Hard oil will remain solid but are scoopable at room temperature.
