Rainbow Dust - ProGel Food Colorings
25 g Gel Food Coloring - Olive Green - ProGel
Olive Green gel food coloring, 25 g concentrated bottle
ProGel Olive Green evokes a Provence olive branch and chic military camouflage netting. This concentrated gel food coloring in a 25 g size is designed for professional pastry chefs and discerning cake design enthusiasts. Especially sought after for autumn or Mediterranean country-style wedding cakes and sophisticated botanical garden-themed layer cakes, it delivers a stable, intense shade with just a few touches from a toothpick.
ProGel's signature advantage: it is a all-purpose water- and oil-based food coloring that works just as well in water-based mixtures (royal icing, water-based icings, syrups, meringues, macarons) as in fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, tempered chocolate, pastry fondant, sugar paste). One tube for the entire range of pastry applications, whereas other food colorings on the market require 2 separate ranges, one oil-soluble and one water-soluble. The concentrated 25 g size covers 30 to 50 preparations, depending on the desired intensity.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
When should I use the Olive Green shade?
Olive Green is a dark khaki green, more sophisticated than a classic bright green. It's particularly suited to olive grove wedding cakes (Provence, Italy, Greece) and earthy autumn weddings, paired with Ochre and Chestnut.
Do I need a different food coloring for each type of mixture?
No, this gel is designed to be versatile: the same formula works in water-based mixtures (royal icing, syrups, macarons) and fat-based mixtures (buttercream, ganache, chocolate, fondant). This means you don't need to stock multiple products, unlike some brands that offer separate oil-soluble and water-soluble ranges.
How do I incorporate this gel into a chocolate mixture without it seizing?
Always incorporate the gel at the very end of tempering, at around 28 to 30 degrees C, adding a small amount and mixing gently with a spatula. This method prevents the chocolate from seizing, which could happen with a conventional water-based coloring.
