Peconic Escargot Caviar

The Peconic snails are a heritage French species called Petit Gris or Little Grey Snail known for their exquisite flavor and tenderness. The petit gris are smaller than your typical canned snail - but that's a good thing! These are the bay scallops of the snail world - sweet and tender. This species was first introduced to North America when it was brought over from Europe in the 1850's. 

 

Rare & Wonderful Caviar!

Snail caviar is the roe or eggs of the Petit Gris snail - cured with 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 about the size of salmon roe. Because the caviar is produced by land snails, the flavor is earthy and woodsy rather than fishy. Notes of carrot, herbs, mushrooms, and forest floor make this caviar a standout accompaniment to meat and vegetable dishes or simply served by itself.  An excellent no-kill option to traditional fish caviars.
