A rare and beautiful "caviar" – Pearls of the earth! Snail caviar is the roe of the Petit Gris snail, cured with low salt just like traditional caviar. These snails only lay 50-100 eggs a year, making our snail caviar a truly extraordinary treat. The eggs are bright white and approximately 4 mm in diameter (similar in size to trout roe or smaller salmon roe). Because this caviar comes from land snails, the flavor is earthy and woodsy, with notes of carrot, herbs, mushrooms, and forest floor. This makes it a unique accompaniment to meat and vegetable dishes or simply delightful on its own.
This snail caviar is produced by Peconic Escargot, one of the few snail farms in the United States, located in a sunny greenhouse on the North Fork of Long Island, NY.
Refrigeration is recommended. Limit extended storage at temperatures above 50°F. For the best quality, consume within 2 weeks of opening.
