Why customers choose Nuvantry Pantry
Bright, fat-friendly color for your baking
Colour Mill Oil-Based Food Coloring in Red comes in a 100ml bottle and is designed to shine in high-fat bases. Rather than relying on water-based dyes, this formula uses oils to carry and disperse pigment, helping the hue stay vibrant in buttercream, Swiss meringue, chocolate, ganache, fondant, and other fat-rich bases. The result is a rich, even color that can elevate everyday desserts and showpieces alike.
How this oil-based approach helps your bakes
The oil-dispersion method anchors color in fats and oils, which can lead to a smoother, more consistent shade through mixing, chilling, and storage. This makes it especially suitable for layering color in buttercream and fondant, where a glossy finish and uniform tone matter.
- Rich, vibrant hues that remain vivid in fat-based bases
- Disperses smoothly in buttercream, Swiss meringue, ganache, fondant, and more
- Free from Gluten: No wheat or gluten ingredients
- Halal Certified: Meets Islamic dietary laws
- Kosher Certified: Meets Jewish dietary laws
Practical use cases
Start with a small amount and build gradually to reach the shade you want. The oil-base works well across multiple recipes, giving you flexibility in your decorating and filling stages.
- Buttercream with a glossy, true red for layer cakes
- Swiss meringue that maintains a stable, even tint
- Chocolate and ganache that showcase a deep red without streaks
- Fondant and cake batter that balance color with sweetness
Tip: Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bottle capped when not in use to preserve intensity. Results can vary with different bases, so you may discover new possibilities for your bakes.
