Current Facts
Thousand years old eggs are raw duck eggs that have been covered with a paste made from soots and covered again with rice husks. The eggs are put into a jar and stored in a cool place for days whereupon they become fermented.

Description/Taste
Larger in size than chicken eggs, the whites of duck eggs tend to be a bit more thick and opaque and the yolks are a striking yellow. As the bird is naturally wilder, duck eggs typically have a stronger flavor compared to that of a chicken egg.

Ethnic/Cultural Info
In China, salted duck eggs are made by soaking duck eggs in a special brine. The eggs may also be individually packed in damp salted charcoal. The egg white of salted duck eggs offers a sharp and salty taste while the yolk offers a rich fatty and less salty flavor. In Asian cuisine and in Asian markets, pickled or preserved duck eggs are called "Thousand-Year-Old-Eggs."

Geography/History
Ramona Duck Farm has been providing superior quality eggs since 1989. A whopping twelve thousand ducks are on daily egg duty. Regarded as a delicacy in South East Asia, Ramona Duck Farm's main source of production is for the famous and popular Balut, the edible embryo formed in the eggshell that is eaten whole. Locally laid in California, these eggs are also shipped to the Philippines, Korea and Vietnam.
