A passion for Corsican snails
In the heart of the charming commune of Santa Maria Poggio, nestles an extraordinary company: Casa Lumaca, specialized in the breeding and processing of Corsican snails. But at Casa Lumaca, snail farming goes far beyond breeding: it's a veritable science, driven by passion and the desire to preserve the region's natural resources.
At Casa Lumaca, nothing is left to chance. Before embarking on this adventure, the team underwent 18 months of intensive training, including internships with experienced breeders. This approach illustrates the company's commitment to ensuring the well-being of its gastropods, which are raised in parks covered with abundant vegetation, including organic mustard, thus providing a natural and healthy environment for these small animals.
The heliciculture practiced by Casa Lumaca actively contributes to the preservation of natural resources and local species in danger of extinction. Indeed, following the intensive collection of snails, their marketing is now strictly regulated, making snail farming an ecological solution for preserving the natural environment and wild species. What's more, snail farming guarantees total product traceability, ensuring optimum food safety.
At Casa Lumaca, each snail is washed and de-shelled with the utmost care, then simmered in a fresh vegetable court-bouillon with a touch of white wine. There are no preservatives here: freshness and quality are paramount. The snails, carefully prepared according to traditional recipes, are vacuum-packed fresh, guaranteeing optimal preservation while preserving their authentic flavors.
At Casa Lumaca, raising and processing snails is not simply a profession, but a true passion, rooted in respect for nature and tradition. Through their exceptional products, the team invites gourmets to discover the delicacy and authenticity of Corsican snails, for an unforgettable taste journey.
