The present invention addresses the problem of providing a paste-like oily foodstuff that contains a preset amount of fats and oils, can be easily handled during preparation and yet has a heat resistance and favorable melting feeling in the mouth. The above problem has been solved by finding that a paste-like oily foodstuff, in which the yield value is increased without increasing the plastic viscosity, can be obtained by using a specific emulsifier and the thus obtained paste-like oily foodstuff has a heat resistance, favorable melting feeling in the mouth and good handling properties during preparation.
