Organic egg products: Quality plus environmental protection
Are you a food service professional who wants to combine product quality with your establishment’s commitment to health and the environment? Then organic egg products are a great way to offer dishes to your guests that are simultaneously affordable, sustainable and delicious.
Discover Cocotine’s organic range of fresh and frozen egg products that are a welcome addition to any sweet or savoury concoction. Our products come from hens farmed according to methods that are respectful of nature and the animals’ welfare, two commitments that are of vital importance to our brand.
Organic egg products, from our farms to your kitchen
To qualify as organic, eggs must satisfy a number of criteria, beginning with the conditions in which the hens are reared. At an organic farm, there can be no more than six birds per square metre, with a maximum of 3,000 hens in total. In addition, the hens must:
- Be free-range
- Get natural light
- Have access to the outdoors, with a chicken run offering 4 m² of space per bird, in accordance with the principles of organic farming
- Receive vitamin-rich feed that is primarily made up of plants and minerals, with at least 95% of the inputs being organically farmed.
At Cocotine, 42 of our farmers have gone organic, accounting for 11% of our farms (by number of hens) as at the end of June 2023. Our organic egg processing takes place as close as possible to the farms’ locations. This involves transforming the eggs into products like pasteurised liquid egg, hard-boiled eggs, omelettes and more.
Advantages of organic egg products for your kitchen
There are many benefits to opting for organic egg products, and chefs appreciate them for both their ease of use and consistent quality. Rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, our organic egg-based products retain all their nutritional qualities after processing. They also bring a touch of creaminess and authentic flavour to your recipes, to thrill even the most demanding of palates.
Our pasteurised liquid egg, for example, exhibits the same culinary properties as shell eggs, but with much more convenient packaging in bottles. Our liquid egg products are ready to use and easy to store and measure, plus they reduce waste and promise maximum food safety.
Cocotine’s commitments to high-quality food
Cocotine now offers a wide range of egg products that are farmed under conditions that align with the expectations of chefs and consumers alike. By taking the initiative to stop using caged eggs, our brand has proved that we respect animal welfare and that we are committed to adopting sustainable practices. Through our animal welfare cage-free, free-range and organic product lines, Cocotine supports and guides our cooperative farmers in transitioning to alternatively farmed (cage-free) eggs.
This means that Cocotine’s egg products are made with eggs from cage-free farms where the hens have enough space and enjoy access to an outdoor area adjacent to the coop with exposure to daylight. Make the decision to incorporate our egg products into your recipes so you can serve healthier, more responsible food.
