Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus oil-soluble food coloring, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Eucalyptus evokes dried eucalyptus leaves for decoration. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for fat-based pastry ingredients: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and fondant softened by the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for rustic and modern boho wedding cakes and nature, yoga, and wellness-themed layer cakes, it delivers a distinctive color recognizable from the Colour Mill (Australia) palette.

Made in Australia using proprietary pigment encapsulation technology, Colour Mill withstands baking temperatures of up to 180°C without shifting or lightening. The Eucalyptus color remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for cake batters colored before going into the oven. The 20 ml squeeze dropper bottle allows precise dosing for occasional use and color testing, without waste when preparing a small batch.

Eucalyptus: 3 shades according to dosage

The color can be subtly adjusted according to the dosage without losing its identity.
