We experimentally and theoretically study the melting process of frozen olive oil in water (Ra = O(10^8)). The melt is immiscible with the surrounding, creating a thin viscous film as it melts. We derive an analytical expression for the film thickness and the melt rate for three different geometries. We perform experiments for these geometries and compare these to our theoretical model.
