Our snails are bred on Madeira Island

Madeira is well known for the exotic beauty of it’s nature, being covered with laurel and eucalyptus forest, which are classified as the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There is no harmful factorial production on the island, and people and authorities make sure that madeirenese nature is kept as pristine as possible. It is a real haven for plants and animals, where everything grows in abundance.
Our Snail Farm is located in the mountains, at 800m elevation, surrounded by one such eucalyptus forest, providing excellent conditions for healthy lives of our snails.
Our Farms
Our snails are bred in a closed-type greenhouses, providing the opportunity for more control of different conditions such as wind, frost, sun and rain. We are able to oversee and control all ins and outs of our production process. The fact that our greenhouses are covered and kept closed protects our snails from birds and animals.
Being located in the mountain forest – we are protected from the pesticides that could be used by other neighbouring fields, simply because there aren’t any!
Consumer always knows that the snails are being kept under perfect conditions, supervised by skilled farmers, are perfectly healthy and controlled by local authorities.
