THE FUTURE IS SNAIL


Cherasco Method

This is a natural method that adapts itself to different microclimates and it’s well placed in every kind of geographical area.


The Winning Method

You can distinguish the Italian heliciculture by the exclusively outdoors production, with vegetable feeding, scattered directly into the fences.


All over the world

We contributed to the germination of natural full-cycle farms in Serbia, Romania, Croatia, Germany, France, Greece, Bulgaria, Russia, Spain, Bosnia, Tunisia, Argentina, Hungary, South Africa, Lebanon and Jordan.


Naturally ECO

The entire production cycle takes place outdoors, using mainly vegetable feeding sown with limited management costs.

QUALITY FIRST OF ALL

- First collection and delivery in the 6 months following the opening of the plant



OVER 1 HECTARE OF EXTENT
Ideal for large areas of land, over one hectare and over 30 fences.
The Short Natural Breeding Cycle is the answer to the ever growing internal demand for snails because it guarantees quantitatively relevant productions.

The Institute is committed
to guiding you to become snail breeders

 

O ur Institute has a goal: guiding you in getting to know our sector, and giving you our perspective into a world that has much potential. The magnitude of heliciculture, as we interpret it, combines two aspects: the aspect of agronomy and zootechnics in a sustainable way. These times lead to inescapable concerns obligating us to respect the environment. On the other hand, we do it to the extent that will yield the greatest gastronomic result. The snail is a product that draws on the deep-rooted regional gastronomic tradition, but it also offers opportunities within the food sector for excellent, high quality products.

There is also an aspect linked to developments that go beyond primary production and that, therefore, allow for a typically entrepreneurial vision. Our idea is to be able to put together a sustainable approach for our installation that is also productive: whoever starts this activity becomes a heliciculture entrepreneur. Therefore, having an attitude in tune with ethical issues, but above all, having a secure income, in this respect, is not an easy goal to achieve.

We will try to explain how, in our opinion, our recipe is a winning recipe.


 

The Cherasco Snail Method is the new symbol of quality, professionalism and Italian business culture in the world, it doesn’t pollute, is rich in proteins and represents a new concept of helical economy because it doesn’t produce waste, everything is reused in a eco-friendly way.
