Highlights:
Snail caviar can only be described as woody, salty, with a hint of rosemary and earthy undertones. The extremely large pearls pop with the slightest of pressure.

Description

Unlike sturgeon caviar, Snail Caviar has much larger roes that have a tougher outer shell. But the second you bite into it, the roes literally burst in your mouth, gushing a mildly tasting viscous liquid over your tongue that is smooth and light.

The best way to describe the taste is earthy, like a baked asparagus, and sometimes tasting like the juice from a baked mushroom. It is quite refreshing however, as there is absolutely no aftertaste. You can definitely taste hints of rosemary on the surface of the eggs, but that quickly disappears once the individual eggs burst.

Snail farming on a large-scale basis requires a considerable investment in time, equipment, and resources. Thus, snail caviar farming is even more difficult, as on average a snail will produce roughly 100 eggs per year. 100 eggs is about 4 grams. That means that a 50 gram tin comes from over 12 snails over a span of one year.

Once harvested, the snail roes are seasoned with French Guerande sea salt, touches of rosemary, citric acid, and starch. Caviar Express Snail Caviar is imported directly from our exclusive snail caviar farm in Poland, which produces escargot eggs throughout the year.
