Before the purchase, we first examine the product; we look for the dirt on the eggs, cracks, and the appearance of the shell.

Be aware that the egg keeps 3 to 4 weeks at room temperature and can be eaten raw in 9 days after the laying date.

Systematically we do keep eggs in the refrigerator; without washing them in order to not remove the transparent cuticle that protects the egg; although, they should be washed before use.

Two tests to check the freshness of the egg:

Spreading  test:

 
Break the egg on a flat surface and observe:

- If the egg yolk is well rounded, compact and surrounded by a thick layer of white, the egg is ultra fresh;

- If the egg yolk which spreads and white is very fluid, it means that it is an egg of five weeks and more.

Floating test

Immerse the egg in a container of water:

- If the egg sinks in water and remains stretched out all along, it is an ultra fresh egg;

- If the egg is set upright in water up to be standing, it is an egg of five weeks and more.

Important: the water test or floating test is done just before consumption because a washed egg has not to be under no circumstances stored quickly; otherwise it becomes unfit for consumption in the next hours.
