Oil-based colouring for chocolate, ganaches and high-fat preparations.
Colour Mill Royal is a concentrated oil-soluble colouring, packaged in a 20 ml dropper bottle. Its oil-based formula blends directly into chocolate, cocoa butter, ganaches and rich creams without causing the mixture to seize. The Royal shade delivers a vivid, saturated royal blue, brighter than Navy.

Ingredients and allergens
Ingredients: Humectant: E422, vegetable oil (rapeseed), colours: E133, E120, emulsifiers: E322, E433.
Please note: This colouring is oil-soluble and will not dissolve in water-based preparations (royal icing, syrup). Shake the bottle before use and add the colour gradually: it is easier to darken a shade that is too light than to lighten a base that is already too intense. Store away from light and heat, with the bottle tightly closed.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, Royal disperses well in melted cocoa butter and can be used to prepare a mixture for spraying with a spray gun. Test the shade on a neutral surface first.
