Lola Carmen’s Heat & Ready to Eat Balut caters to the millions of Filipinos who crave the elusive Philippine street-food style balut overseas. Innovations in Lola Carmen Balut address not only biosecurity and perishability in sending balut overseas, but also its preparation and end-consumer’s eating convenience. The result is a ready-to-eat “seasoned” balut in shell with an ambient shelf-life of one year that can be easily heated for an authentic street-food-balut-eating experience, all beginning with the signature cracking sound of the eggshell. The container package has rib walls and nitrogen gas inflation to minimize breakage and prolong product stability.
