Squid ink

Squid ink is a natural dark pigment extracted from the ink sac of cuttlefish or squid. It is used in cooking as a natural food colouring that gives dishes a striking black to dark purple hue. It is most commonly added to pasta, rice, risotto, bread or sauces. In Italian cuisine, classic examples include spaghetti al nero di seppia and black risotto. Beyond its visual impact, it imparts a subtle oceanic flavour that pairs particularly well with seafood. It is sold in small ink sachets or as a paste. A 100% natural ingredient with no artificial additives, prized for its unique appearance and authentic taste.
