Copha is a brand of vegetable shortening made from hydrogenated coconut oil. It is produced only in Australia, but there are many suppliers of hydrogenated coconut fat in various forms worldwide. Copha is a popular ingredient in many recipes, including the much-loved kids party recipe, chocolate crackles. It is made with more than 99% coconut oil and less than 1% soy lecithin. Copha is gluten-free, contains no palm oil, and remains stable in room temperature up to 36 degrees Celsius. It is sold in Coles, Woolworths, and selected independent stores in the dairy case where butter and table spreads are located. Copha has been part of Australian history for more than 70 years and was developed in 1933. Copha is also dairy-free, palm oil-free, and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is a perfect bland blank canvas for cooking and has no smell and taste. Copha can be used to make pure white frosting or icing, and it makes it easier to work with chocolate.
