Description

Description

A rare , beautiful "caviar" - Pearls of the earth! Snail caviar is the roe or eggs of the Petit Gris snail - cured with low salt, like traditional caviar. These snails will only lay 50-100 eggs a year - making our snail caviar an extraordinary treat. The eggs are bright white and ~4 mm in diameter(about the same size as trout roe or smaller salmon roe). Because the caviar is produced by land snails, the flavor is earthy and woodsy rather than sea-like. Notes of carrot, herbs, mushrooms, and forest floor make this caviar a standout accompaniment to meat and vegetable dishes or simply served by itself. 
 
This snail caviar is produced by Peconic Escargot - one of the only snail farms in the United States. The snails are raised in a sunny greenhouse on the North Fork of Long Island NY.

Refrigeration recommended - limit extended storage in temperatures over 50°F - for best quality use within 2 weeks of opening

Best Caviar Ever!

I was a little hesitant about this product as I like Ossetra. Beluga is a little "greasy" for me and the beads are a little larger. I had a small gathering of 8 friends and we opened the Escargot Caviar, put it on sour cream and home made toast points. It was very delicate. The Sour cream almost overwhelmed it's flavor, I will use Creme Fraiche. We washed it down with Vue Clique and found it to be a "soft" flavor and gentle on the taste buds. I would definitely buy it again. It arrived quicker than I thought. I also liked the thought that it is farmed and sustainable. Good job!

Musty

These eggs are a cool idea, but not very tasty. The texture is 'okay', a bit chewy, but the flavor is just not good. They taste musty and that's about all. I can't imagine what they would go with or why anyone would want that flavor.
