Oil-Soluble Food Coloring - Colour Mill Teal

Oil-soluble food coloring in Teal, 20 ml format

Colour Mill Teal evokes a tropical lagoon in the Maldives and a peacock feather. This oil-soluble food coloring is designed for the high-fat bases used in baking: melted white chocolate, butter ganache, buttercream, royal icing, and sugar paste softened by the warmth of your hands. Particularly sought after by cake designers for sophisticated tropical-themed wedding cakes and birthday layer cakes with an ocean or marine adventure theme, it delivers a distinctive shade 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 fading. The Teal shade remains stable after baking, making it the go-to option for colored cake batters before they go into the oven. The 20 ml squeeze dropper bottle enables precise dosing for occasional use and shade testing, without waste when preparing a small batch.

Teal: 3 shades according to dosage

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