COLOUR MILL
Lime - Oil-Based Food Coloring 20 ml
Oil-based coloring for chocolate, ganaches, and high-fat preparations.
Colour Mill Lime is a concentrated oil-based food coloring 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 Lime shade creates a bright, zesty citrus green, as vibrant as freshly grated lime zest.

Ingredients and allergens
Ingredients: Humectant: E422, vegetable oil (rapeseed), colorants: E102, E133, emulsifiers: E322, E433.
Please note: This coloring is oil-soluble and will not dissolve in water-based preparations (royal icing, syrup). Shake the bottle before use and add the color 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.
Warning: E102 may have adverse effects on activity and attention in children.

How much should I use for a full batch of whipped ganache?
For a standard whipped ganache, start with a few drops of Lime mixed into the warm liquid ganache before chilling, then adjust during whipping if you want a more intense shade.
