Spectrum Organic Oils has a palm oil shortening that is solid, in a little tub. It is a viable replacement for tallow or solid hydrogenated cooking shortening for baking and cooking purposes. If you want to make soap or candles, and would use it to replace tallow, I don't know if it would work. You can experiment, or email the company and ask them.
