The invention relates to a method of improving the efficiency of fat separationin the separation of a liquid food product with a certain fat content. The methodcomprises the method step that the liquid food product is caused to pass two separatorsconnected in parallel, a first (1) and a second (2), in which the product is dividedup into a lighter and a heavier phase. The first separator (1) is regulated so thatthe lighter phase will have a fat content which is less than 15 %. The lighter phasefrom the first (1) of the separators connected in parallel is led into the inletconduit (4) to the second (2) of the separators connected in parallel.
