Forest is a Colour Mill oil-soluble food colouring in a 100 ml size, the large format in the range designed for professional use or regular production, unlike the 20 ml bottle, which is intended more for occasional use. Its deep, woodland green shade blends directly into fatty preparations without affecting their texture or setting.
How many drops should I use to achieve the Forest shade?
For a deep Forest shade, several drops are needed (allow eight to ten drops per 100 g, or more depending on the desired opacity), especially with white chocolate. Add it gradually and let the coloring disperse before assessing the result.
Is this Forest food coloring suitable for fondant or royal icing?
Forest 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 woodland decorations and Christmas creations.
Should I shake the bottle before use?
Yes, a small amount of pigment may settle when left to stand. Shake the Forest bottle for a few seconds before each use for an even shade from the first drop.
