Goose eggs, larger and richer than chicken eggs, are a culinary delight offering a creamy texture and robust flavor perfect for baking, custards, and savory dishes. Proper storage is key to preserving their freshness and ensuring optimal culinary results.

Storage Time

Goose eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks when kept in their original carton, ensuring they maintain peak freshness for your gourmet cooking.

Temperature

For optimal freshness and safety, store goose eggs in the coldest part of your refrigerator, ideally between 0°C and 4°C (32°F and 40°F).

Freezing

Yes, goose eggs can be frozen for extended preservation. To freeze, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly to prevent the yolks from becoming gummy. For best results, freeze them in ice cube trays or small airtight containers, labeling with the date. Frozen goose eggs can be thawed overnight in the refrigerator and should be used within 2-3 days of thawing. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making them best suited for cooked dishes rather than raw consumption.

Signs of Spoilage

• A strong, sulfurous odor when cracked.
• A watery or unusually thin egg white.
• Discoloration within the yolk or white, such as pinkish or greenish hues.
