It's a white vegetable fat. Known in the UK as White Flora or Trex. Hope this helps

hi yummyfiremummy

there are a few brands over here, solite, cream cup etc but you can buy crisco at an american supermarket in melbourne. copha is white vegetable shortening but its not the same as the crisco or other varieties used in frostings.

www.usafoods.com.au/

just search for crisco
