What are Century Duck Eggs?

Century Duck Eggs, also known as hundred-year-old eggs, are duck eggs that have undergone a preservation process where they are soaked in a mixture of clay, ash, quicklime, and salt for several weeks or months. Despite the name, these eggs are not actually 100 years old, but they are named so due to the unique process that transforms their appearance and flavor.

The result is a dark-colored egg with translucent, jelly-like egg whites and a deep, almost black yolk. The preservation process enhances the egg's flavor, giving it a savory, umami-rich taste that is beloved in many Asian cuisines.

Century Duck Eggs 6's x 63g come in a convenient pack of six eggs, each weighing 63g, making it ideal for those who want to explore this delicacy without committing to larger quantities.

The History of Century Duck Eggs

The tradition of preserving duck eggs dates back thousands of years in China, Taiwan, and other parts of Southeast Asia. The process of preserving eggs using clay, ash, and other natural ingredients was initially developed as a way to extend the shelf life of eggs in times when refrigeration was not available.

Century eggs have been enjoyed for over 2,000 years and are a staple in traditional Chinese cuisine. They are commonly served as appetizers, snacks, or as part of a larger meal. Century Duck Eggs are especially popular in dishes like century egg congee and century egg salad.

Today, Century Duck Eggs 6's x 63g are widely available and enjoyed by people around the world, both as a traditional delicacy and as an ingredient for creative culinary experimentation.

Storing Your Century Duck Eggs

To ensure the best quality and taste, store Century Duck Eggs 6's x 63g in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate the eggs to maintain their freshness and flavor. They have a long shelf life due to the preservation process, but it’s best to consume them within a reasonable time frame after opening.
