Your guide to biological value, pasture science, and culinary creation with fresh local eggs in Puerto Rico.
Punto Pio pasture-raised eggs are laid with a natural, invisible protective layer called the cuticle or 'bloom', which seals the pores of the shell. That layer is lost when an egg is washed, and ours are cleaned before delivery. Once eggs are cleaned they lose their natural protective coating, so we recommend keeping them in the fridge to maintain freshness.
In contrast, mass-imported industrial eggs undergo aggressive chemical washes that strip away this bloom. As a result, they require constant refrigeration and dry out during their 20+ day shipping transit.
