Oil-based colorant for chocolate, ganaches, and high-fat preparations.
Colour Mill Blue Bell is a concentrated oil-soluble colorant 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 Blue Bell shade is a soft blue-violet reminiscent of the flower of the same name, between Lavender and Royal.

Ingredients and allergens
Ingredients: Humectant: E422, vegetable oil (rapeseed), colors: E133, E120, emulsifiers: E322, E433.
Please note: This colorant is oil-soluble and will not dissolve in a water-based preparation (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.
