Thanks. While I agree that "esparcible" is an adjective and should be translated as "spreadable", the context referred to it as a product (in the same vein as margarine). (It's not a cooking spray though). Therefore, I opted for neilmac's second answer, which fits my context perfectly. I found these two links that confirmed that it is a spread: http://www.caloriecount.org/Index.cfm?Method=Diet.Categories.Category&FoodCode_Value=81 and http://www.cspinet.org/nah/12_01/chart.html
