Your questions, our advice
Does this food coloring work in melted chocolate?
Yes, that is its primary use: it is formulated for fat-based mixtures (white chocolate, ganache, cocoa butter) and disperses without clumping in a tempered melted base.
How much should I use for a richly saturated shade?
Start with 5 to 10 drops per 250 g of mixture and adjust in increments of 2 to 3 drops until you reach the desired shade, allowing it to rest between additions.
Does the 20 ml bottle have a dropper?
Yes, the soft cap has a dropper opening: a gentle squeeze dispenses one precise drop.
