Lake Colours

Lake food colours are a specific type of food colouring commonly used in various culinary applications. Unlike water-soluble food colours, lake colours are typically oil-dispersible or oil-soluble. These colours are often preferred for products that contain fats or oils, such as chocolate, coatings, or oil-based products, as they provide stable and vibrant colouring. They are also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and in the colouring of products where water-based colours may not be suitable.
