Sage is an oil-soluble food coloring by Colour Mill in a 100 ml size, the larger format in the range, designed for professional use or regular production, unlike the 20 ml bottle, which is intended more for occasional use. Its soft, powdery sage green shade blends directly into fat-based preparations without affecting their texture or setting.
How many drops should I use to achieve the Sage shade?
The Sage shade can be achieved with a moderate amount, about three to five drops per 100 g of fat. The 100 ml bottle lets you adjust the amount without worrying about running out during preparation.
Is this Sage food coloring suitable for fondant or royal icing?
Sage is an oil-soluble food coloring formulated for fatty 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 worked with water, where it will not disperse properly: reserve it for fatty bases, especially for rustic weddings and minimalist creations.
Does the 100 ml bottle keep as well as the 20 ml bottle?
Yes: when tightly closed and stored at room temperature, away from direct light and heat, Sage food coloring remains stable for several months. The larger size simply helps prevent running out during the rush of rustic weddings and minimalist creations.
