Helix Snails for Cooking

The meat of our snails is tender, flavorful and free of aftertaste, ideal for traditional and creative recipes.

Thanks to natural feeding according to our standards (cabbage, chicory, chard, sunflowers, alfalfa), the meat of our snails is particularly tender and flavorful.

We offer ready-to-use products: shelled, cleaned and in some cases pre-cooked, to facilitate preparation.
