Colour Mill Merlot Oil-Soluble Food Coloring 20 ml

Merlot shade, 20 ml bottle for fat-based mixtures

Colour Mill Merlot evokes deep burgundy velvet and a dark evening gown. This concentrated oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based baking mixtures: melted white chocolate, ganache, buttercream, and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. It's a popular choice among cake designers for high-end autumn wedding cakes and anniversary layer cakes (ruby wedding anniversaries, 40 years).

Your questions, our advice

Is this food coloring oven-safe?

Yes, the shade remains stable up to 180 °C and does not lighten after baking, unlike many conventional liquid food colorings.

How many drops for 250 g of mixture?

Use 2 to 4 drops for a pastel shade, 5 to 10 drops for a vibrant shade, and up to 20 drops for a dark shade. It's best to add gradually.

Is separation in the 20 ml bottle normal?

Yes, slight separation between the pigment and carrier liquid is normal after prolonged storage: shake for 10 seconds before each use.
