Frequently asked questions
Is Classic Black oil-soluble, as required for chocolate?
No. It is a water-soluble liquid coloring (water- and glycerin-based): it is suitable for buttercream, icing, fondant, and ganache, but does not mix with couverture chocolate or pure fat. To color chocolate, use a powdered oil-soluble coloring.
What is the maximum recommended dosage for Classic Black?
The indicated maximum dosage is 4.2 g/kg. Adjust it gradually using the dropper tip to control the intensity of the shade.
Does Classic Black require any special precautions?
Yes: it contains E129 (Allura Red AC), E122 (azorubine), E104 (quinoline yellow), and E110 (Sunset Yellow S), colorings subject to the EU regulatory warning regarding children's activity and attention. Refer to the product label before using it in a preparation intended for children.
How can Classic Black be applied without making the preparation set?
Add the coloring drop by drop directly to the prepared mixture (buttercream, icing, or fondant), mixing between each addition rather than pouring in the entire dose at once.
