The Black Liquid Food Colouring 190ml Flor is a professional-grade liquid food colour, formulated to deliver an intense, deep and covering black with low dosages. Designed for catering, patisseries, gelato labs and bakeries, it is the ideal solution for those seeking a consistent, reliable colour result on every preparation. Distributed by LAPA, the food service supplier for Switzerland, it is available for fast deliveries to Zurich, Geneva, Lugano and Basel and across the whole country.

What it is

This is a food colouring in liquid form, packaged in a practical 190 ml bottle. The liquid formulation ensures a homogeneous and immediate dispersion, with no lumps and no need to rehydrate powders. The black of the Flor brand is particularly appreciated because it retains good colour stability even after baking, avoiding the typical shifts towards grey or greenish tones found with lower-quality products. It is suitable for intensive lab use thanks to its generous format and competitive yield/price ratio.

How to use it

The versatility of this colouring makes it an indispensable tool in the pastry lab. It can be incorporated directly into preparations or used on the surface for finishes and decorations.

• Doughs and batters: add the colouring to sponge cakes, biscuits, shortcrust pastry or macaron mixes to obtain uniform black bases.
• Creams and fillings: colour buttercreams, ganaches, mousses and pastry creams for elegant chromatic contrasts.
• Glazes and coatings: achieve black mirror glazes, fondant and royal icing with an intense, glossy colour.
• Decorations: create decorations, lettering and artistic details; it can be diluted for airbrush effects on cakes and desserts.

Recommended dosage

It is recommended to start with small quantities and increase gradually until the desired tone is reached. As a general rule, a few drops are enough to colour light bases; to achieve a full, deep black, add the colouring little by little, mixing well between each addition. For doughs intended for baking, it is advisable to slightly increase the dose, as heat can soften the tone. Always carry out a preliminary test on the type of preparation used.

Storage

Keep the bottle tightly closed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After opening, carefully reseal the cap after each use to preserve the product's characteristics. Keep out of the reach of children. Always respect the expiry date and the indications on the label.
