Snail caviar
Our « Gros gris » snails (Hélix Aspera Maxima) are grown in our snail pens. They are provided with a special environment including an adapted luxuriant vegetation and a regular watering. Raised in the open, they are fed with vegetation and a cereal complement. We process them ourselves, offering a tender and tasty meat for gourmets' greatest pleasure!
After having dedicated three years to research, we now perfectly master farming technics and are able to offer you our snail caviar. Each snail lays once a year an average of a hundred eggs which represents about 4 grams. Patience is required to gather the layings one by one, then, after a meticulous cleaning, we sort them out by hand so to keep only the eggs of good quality. Therefore, in order to produce a kilogram of snail caviar, we need about 260 carefully selected layings. The next step is the laboratory processing where we elaborate our recipe.
