Best Egg Types in the World
Œufs de Loué are unique eggs from free-range hens that feed on cereals, produced in the French region of Pays de la Loire. The eggs have a brown shell, and when raw, the yolk is straw-colored, due to the hens' diet, while the egg whites are translucent and firm.
The taste of these eggs is creamy and very different than other eggs, which is why Loué eggs are the most expensive eggs on the market. Their price is justified because the quality control is very strict - the farmers collect the eggs several times a day, sort them and store them in a controlled environment.
YELLOW-SPOTTED RIVER TURTLES ARE RARE AND UNDER THE THREAT OF EXTINCTION.
Yellow-spotted river turtles living in the Amazon River are known as taricaya turtles in Peru, and both their eggs (called huevos de taricaya) and meat have long been a staple of the local communities’ diet.
The taricaya turtle’s eggs are also a prized delicacy in the country, making them an expensive, highly sought-after food item on the black market. All this has led to illegal poaching of their eggs that, along with hunting for food and accidental deaths in fishing nets, had nearly brought these animals to the verge of extinction.
The specific microclimate of the Slovenian Kamnik Alps ensures the high quality of goods produced in this region and Jajca izpod Kamniških planin (Kamnik Alps eggs) are definitely one of its best-known products. During the summer, temperatures in the Kamnik Alps do not rise significantly which means the chickens don't suffer from heat stress or dehydration and this maintains an excellent egg shell quality as well as a healthy nutrient balance.
Even though the local chicken farmers and egg producers supply only local markets, it is certain that the use of the nutrient-rich Kamnik eggs will soon spread far outside of Slovenia.
