What it is
Vegetable charcoal powder is a fine food-colouring ingredient used to give bakery, pastry and dessert preparations a deep dark appearance. This Cereal product is supplied in a 500 g format for professional kitchens.
Product and format
The product designation includes Cereal and Distillerie Ruffini, with the supplier information linked to ITJUST EUROPE SRL and ItaEmpire S.r.l. The documented working format is one 500 g pack.
Organoleptic profile
The powder is valued primarily for its intense dark colour and fine texture, which allow it to blend into many mixtures. Use it with a measured hand so the visual effect supports the recipe without covering its intended aroma or taste.
Professional uses and quantities
Use it for dark breads, burger buns, pasta, macarons, gelato, creams and modern cakes as described in the current product content. Weigh the amount required by the recipe or label, sift it when needed and mix it evenly before production.
Errors to avoid
Do not dose the powder by eye, add more simply to make a darker colour or use it without checking the current product instructions. Avoid lumps in light mixtures and keep the ingredient separate from non-food charcoal products.
Storage and handling
Keep the 500 g pack dry and protected from humidity, heat and strong aromas. Close the package after each use, use clean dry utensils and follow the storage and use instructions on the product label.
