Cochineal used in a sentence

Cochineal in a sentence as a noun

My love for cochineal is due to it's traditional use in Campari.

Until maybe a decade ago, the most common source of red food dye was ground up cochineal bugs which look like ticks.

Surprised that the article doesn't have a single photo of a cochineal...I mean the title is 'The insect that painted Europe red'.

So paints may have varying quantities of red ochre, titanium white, carbon black, ultramarine, cochineal, etc.

If you paid closer attention to things like gelatin and cochineal, you might notice an increase in the percentage of non-vegetarian meals you consume.
