Nomeca Oil-Based Food Coloring for Chocolate — 10 Colors (.35 fl. oz) | Concentrated Oil-Soluble Set for Candy Melts & Buttercream

Nomeca's oil-based food coloring is a concentrated, chocolate-friendly dye set of 10 vivid shades formulated to blend smoothly into high-fat confections like chocolate and candy melts.

These bottled colorings are made specifically to work with fats and oils where water-based dyes fail. Each 0.35 fl. oz bottle delivers a highly pigmented liquid-gel that disperses evenly in butter, cocoa butter, candy melts and other fat-rich media without changing flavor or texture. The set includes red, black, yellow, green, sky blue, orange, purple, brown, pink and teal — and the colors mix easily to expand your palette.

How do these colors behave with chocolate and candy melts?

Because the formula is oil-soluble, pigments suspend in fats rather than separating or seizing chocolate. They integrate smoothly into melted chocolate and candy melts for consistent, streak-free color. Use sparingly — concentrated drops produce strong shades, and small amounts prevent altering consistency.

• Designed for high-fat ingredients like cocoa butter and confectionery coatings
• Liquid-gel texture balances concentration and pourability
• Won’t cause chocolate to seize when added properly
• Each bottle holds 0.35 fl. oz of concentrated color

Can I use Nomeca oil colors on icings, buttercream and fondant?

Yes—these bottles work well in fat-based icings such as buttercream and some fondants that tolerate oil-based additions. They won’t dissolve into water-based frostings or beverages, so choose water-based gels for those recipes instead. When tinting buttercream, add a few drops at a time and whip to reach the shade you want.

• Effective in buttercream, fondant (fat-tolerant), and meringue with care
• Not suitable for water-based glazes or drinks
• Mixable to create custom shades without weakening emulsion
• Vegan-friendly, allergen-free formulation

What safety and ingredient details should I know?

Nomeca’s oil-based dyes use food-grade, odorless, tasteless components so they won’t impart off-flavors. The formulation is free from common allergens like dairy, nuts, soy and gluten, and is suitable for vegan baking. Always follow local food-safety guidance for commercial use and label finished products when serving to others.

• Food-grade pigments, no noticeable odor or taste
• Vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free
• Concentrated — a little goes a long way
• Keep away from water-based applications and beverages

How should I store and use these coloring bottles for best results?

Store bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment stability. Shake gently before use to re-suspend pigments, and add drops gradually to melted chocolate or frosting until you reach the desired intensity. For very dark shades, combine complementary colors or add small increments of black or brown.

• Shake before each use to ensure even color dispersion
• Add a few drops, stir, then adjust — avoid over-adding at once
• Store sealed in a cool, dark cupboard to extend shelf life
• Use palette mixing to achieve custom tones without waste

Who is this for? Bakers, chocolatiers and home candy makers who need reliable, oil-compatible colorants will benefit most from Nomeca’s set. It’s ideal for professionals and hobbyists working with chocolate, candy melts, buttercream and other fat-based confections who want vivid, mixable colors without altering taste or texture. If you frequently color water-based icings or beverages, complement this set with water-soluble gel colors for full versatility.
