Rainbow Dust - ProGel XXL
Gel Food Coloring 100 g - Black - ProGel XXL
Concentrated gel food coloring, Black, professional 100 g size
ProGel XXL Black evokes a deep, matte black, like printing ink. This concentrated gel food coloring in a professional 100 g size is designed for pastry shops and high-volume production kitchens. ProGel’s signature advantage: it’s a general-purpose water- and oil-based colorant, working just as well in water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues) as in fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant). One tube for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas some colorants on the market require two separate ranges, one oil-soluble and the other water-soluble. The 100 g size is equivalent to around 4 tubes of 25 g, with around 30 percent savings per gram: ideal for shops that regularly handle event orders.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our tips
Why choose the 100 g ProGel XXL Black size instead of 25 g?
The 100 g XXL size is equivalent to around 4 tubes of 25 g, with around 30 percent savings per gram. It’s suitable for pastry shops that regularly handle event orders and for regular users of the Black shade. For occasional use, the corresponding 25 g tube is a better fit.
How much should I use for 250 g of mixture?
For a pastel shade, a small dab on the tip of a toothpick is enough. For a bright shade, use 2 to 3 dabs. For a dark, saturated shade, use 5 to 8 dabs. It’s always easier to intensify a color than to lighten it, so it’s best to start small and adjust.
Does this gel mix with melted chocolate?
Yes, ProGel is designed to work with tempered chocolate too, unlike conventional water-based gel colors, which cause chocolate to crystallize. Add a small amount of gel at the end of tempering, at 28-30 °C, and gently mix it in with a spatula.
