A COMPANY GETS ALAVESA EGGS FRIED FREEZE FOR DISTRIBUTION.
The Álava company Food Style assures that its 'invention’ has the same quality and texture as a freshly cooked egg and holds 24 hours in optimal conditions. Hostelry, Hotels, catering companies and franchises are its main customers.
The day had to come when even the humble and popular fried egg would be the subject of a deep-freezing patent so that it could be sold and consumed with no more work than taking it out of a container..
Food Style has been the first in the world to register and patent the deep-frozen fried egg for its distribution and consumption. The inventors say they have succeeded “without losing its texture and quality”.
The company run by Javier Yzuel, has been the one that has achieved this goal after several years of work, research and innovation. The first attempts to obtain the patent for deep-freezing fried eggs date back to the year 1951 in United States, but an optimal result was never achieved, that had the minimum conditions of quality and texture and that also guaranteed a zero health risk like the one achieved by this Aragonese chef residing in Vitoria.
Yzuel has presented its new product, whose making, as explained, it's not easy, since to achieve the final result he has had to invest many hours and discard more than 5.000 eggs until you reach a satisfactory result, in addition to homogenizing the fried egg.
The process involves a very important technical component since both the yolk and the white are two incompatible products.. The white has a 95 % of water and the yolk is all protein.
The deep-frozen fried egg presents advantages such as the absence of health risk because by subjecting the product to a thermal shock there is no possibility of salmonella, Yzuel stands out. Also, after thawing, this food that always achieves the same size and texture, hold 24 hours in the fridge.
The company's goal is to sell one million eggs per month in a few months.. Its main markets are in the hospitality sector, Hotels, companies of “catering” and franchises.
moment, they cannot make the leap to supermarkets, but they hope to end up taking their product to the chests of commercial surfaces. In addition, this company will employ 16 new employees in the coming months.
