This is a Chinese 100 year old egg. Most of us prefer them fresher.

Geneva, Switzerland – And today’s question is: are your eggs fresh? That is easy to tell. All you need to do is to visit the “what’s on your egg” website and enter the number printed on the egg. The results will tell you when it was put on the shelf, where it came from, and how the mother hen lived until the day she popped that egg: free range, in the barn or battery raised.

The site tracks down all EU eggs, but not Swiss eggs.  Don’t despair: the Migros supermarket’s site allows you to search your egg’s background and postal code information.

Finally, the following advise from GenevaLunch editor Ellen Wallace:

And then the next step is to cook those eggs the right way. It seems there is more than one foolproof way to hard-boil an egg, and yet a lot of us apparently can’t get it right. But a favorite bit of egg information is working out how to identify a hard-boiled from an uncooked egg, in case your refrigerator isn’t organized.
