L'Escargot Jurassien

-

L'Escargot Jurassien is a snail farm located in Billecul, at an altitude of 860 metres. This beautiful story began a few years ago, in 2010, when Sébastien Saglier was on holiday in the Jura. "In love with the region, he created a snail farm of "gros gris" snails, chosen for their more tender flesh than Burgundy snails. Everything is done by hand: every year in mid-May, the snails from the farm are placed in a greenhouse in a "nursery", where they stay for 45 days to be protected from the cold; then they are raised in the open air in the farm's parks, where they grow peacefully on a plant cover adapted to their needs.

When the time comes, the production is processed on the spot in the farm's laboratory (to CE standards), where Sébastien develops his tasty recipes. Using local products - including the famous butter from the Val de Mièges Cooperative - he offers a whole range of products, labelled "organic" or "from organic farming". The forms of packaging are original: in shells of course, but also in terrines, in cassolettes or even in "Crocs'Apéro" (everything is eaten, including the wheat shell!). For the seasonings, there is room for local flavours: Jura wine, bear's garlic, cheese, mushrooms... These exceptional products are available all year round, in the farm shop or on the markets of the region.
