A luxury treat for the taste buds

The snail caviar produced by the Escargotière de Warnant is a real innovation in the world of fine food. A bit of a madcap idea that became a reality thanks to the help of the BEP and four great Walloon chefs.

This snail caviar, with its unique texture, explodes in the mouth, releasing the delicate fragrances of the undergrowth, like oak leaves, bark and humus…

Shimmering little pearls, they’ll add a touch of magic to your most sophisticated starters and go perfectly with other delicious dishes, to impress the finest taste buds.

Snail farmer Eric Frolli and 4 renowned chefs have pooled their talents to reveal all the flavours of this exceptional product.

production

Based in Warnant for nearly 30 years, we breed the Helix aspersa, otherwise known as garden snails. Our finest breeders are kept in enclosures above ground level where they are fed, watered and cleaned every day. Nest boxes are provided for the snails.

Every spring, some of the eggs are used to breed more snails. For the rest of the year, they are used to produce our Escargot Pearls. The eggs are carefully harvested, sorted and washed to get rid of any impurities. This stage is the longest and the most laborious.

They are then put in brine before they are packed to satisfy the most demanding of palates.
