Oil-based colorant for chocolate, ganaches, and fat-based preparations.
Colour Mill Lavender 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 Lavender shade gives a soft pastel purple, halfway between gray and mauve.
Ingredients: Glycerol, colorants: E132, E120, emulsifiers: E322, E433.
