Save this for your next trip to Italy! 🇮🇹 Wondering why you can't find eggs in the refrigerated section of Italian grocery stores? Here's the scoop:
🥚 In Italy, eggs are stored on the shelf, not in the fridge. Why?
1️⃣ Italian eggs aren't washed before sale, which means they keep their natural protective coating. This coating keeps them fresh at room temperature for weeks! No fridge needed.
2️⃣ European food regulations actually prohibit egg washing and discourage refrigeration. The reason? Refrigerating eggs and then letting them warm up can cause condensation, which creates a breeding ground for bacteria like salmonella.
3️⃣ In Italy, keeping eggs at room temperature avoids these issues and keeps them safe and delicious. 🥚🍽️
