Natural Elegance and Professional Performance
-
Organic Finish: Unlike "flashy" greens, Olive Green offers a muted and sophisticated tone, perfect for mimicking olive leaves, eucalyptus, or realistic floral elements.
-
High Concentration: A micro-amount is enough to saturate your batches. This potency allows each 25 g tube to last longer, offering maximum cost-effectiveness.
-
Texture Preservation: Formulated with tapioca starch, this gel integrates perfectly into fondant, marzipan, or buttercream without making them sticky or runny.
-
Precision Packaging: The flexible tube with a safety seal allows drop-by-drop dosing, essential for reproducing exactly the same shade from one batch to another.
Application Tips and Versatility
-
Usage: Remove the safety seal, gently squeeze the tube, and incorporate the gel directly into your fondant, buttercream, or macarons.

Kneading: Work the material until you achieve a perfectly homogeneous color. The shade stabilizes after a few minutes of rest.

All About ProGel Olive Green (Tips & Tricks)
How to create a "Wise Old" or "Eucalyptus" green? Olive Green coloring is an excellent base. To get a more "smoky" eucalyptus-type green, add a tiny touch of ProGel Navy Blue or Black. Conversely, for a more spring-like green, mix it with a hint of Lemon Yellow.
Why is this coloring preferred for floral pastry? In cake design, realism comes from nuanced colors. The blend of pigments E102, E155, and E133 in Olive Green creates a depth not found in primary greens. It allows you to add relief to your modeling without appearing artificial.
Can I use it to paint directly on my cakes? Yes! Dilute a small amount of gel with a few drops of food-grade alcohol (Rejuvenator) to create a fluid paint. You can then draw leaf veins or botanical patterns with watercolor precision.
