Olive is a Colour Mill oil-soluble food coloring in a 100 ml size, the range's larger format designed for professional use or regular production, unlike the 20 ml bottle, which is intended more for occasional use. Its matte, earthy olive-green shade blends directly into fat-based preparations without affecting their texture or setting.
How many drops should I use to get the Olive shade?
The Olive shade can be achieved with a moderate amount, around three to five drops per 100 g of fat. The 100 ml bottle lets you adjust the color without worrying about running out during preparation.
Is this Olive food coloring compatible with fondant or royal icing?
Oil-soluble food coloring, Olive is formulated for fat-based preparations: melted white, dark, or milk chocolate, cocoa butter, ganache, and buttercream. It is not designed for water-based preparations such as royal icing or fondant made with water, in which it will not disperse properly: reserve it for fat-based mixtures, especially for rustic and bohemian-style decorations.
Why choose the 100 ml size instead of 20 ml?
The 100 ml size is the workshop format: it’s suitable for regular production and large batches for rustic and bohemian decorations, with a lower cost per ml than the 20 ml size, which is intended for occasional use.
