FAQ

Ostrich eggs, known for their impressive size, are often available directly at Straussenland im Kamptal, where you can pick these giant gems from the source.

An ostrich egg can stay fresh for up to three weeks when properly stored. However, if you refrigerate them, their shelf life can be extended considerably.

Ostriches lay eggs seasonally rather than all year round. If the conditions are favorable, a female ostrich can lay between 40 and 100 eggs annually, averaging one egg every two days during the breeding season.
