Our edible gold flakes are made from 24k genuine gold leaf certified by the EU and the US as edible and suitable for consumption (= food colouring # E175), and edible silver (= colouring # E174) is an additive for chocolates, liqueurs, sweets and pastries. Honey, chocolates and cake manufacturers buy these flakes to add a luxury touch to their products. Flake size 1 is almost powder, size two about 1-2mm, size three about 3-5mm, and size 0 is the largest, about 2-5cm. Mixed flakes are a combination of 1,2 and 3. All the flakes are irregular shapes.

All our gold flakes and leaf contain no chemicals, no vegetal extracts, no anti-oxidants, no bio-additives, no preservatives, and no chelating agents.

24K or 23K? When the flakes are size 1 and 2, they tend to stick together during the manufacturing process because gold is soft. To avoid that problem, gold flakes manufacturers add 1% silver to give the gold flakes some strength so that they do not stick together.
