This is an insect native to tropical and subtropical America producing <strong>carminic acid<\/strong>, a\u00a0<strong>red<\/strong> colored substance. Before the arrival of this insect in Europe, other insect were used producing the same substance, even if in smaller amounts. At present cultivations of these insects exist: they live on some genus of cacti in Central and South America and in Canary Islands. If the coloring matter of cochineal is fixed on a mineral base, a beautiful\u00a0<strong>magenta<\/strong> lake is obtained. Nila Colori has used the <strong>traditional process<\/strong> followed since centuries to prepare the Pigment<strong> Genuine Cochineal Lake<\/strong>.
