Escargot Achatine - Extra Large, in Water

These extra large Achatine escargots are a prized ingredient for classic French preparations, offering impressive size, tender texture, and a clean, mild flavor that readily absorbs aromatics and sauces. Preserved simply in water, they provide a versatile blank canvas for traditional escargot à la bourguignonne, where garlic, parsley, and butter take center stage, or for more creative applications such as escargot fricassées, puff pastry hors d’oeuvres, or luxurious seafood stews. Their generous size makes them especially well-suited for elegant plating and restaurant-style presentations.

Before use, the escargots should be gently rinsed and briefly simmered or sautéed to warm through and infuse with flavor. They pair beautifully with rich butter sauces, white wine reductions, cream-based preparations, or even Asian-inspired broths. Serve them in classic escargot shells, ramekins, or atop toasted bread for an elevated appetizer that feels both timeless and indulgent.

Sourced from Indonesia, these Achatine escargots are carefully selected for consistency and quality, making them a reliable choice for chefs and home cooks alike. Their size, texture, and neutral profile allow them to shine in both traditional French cuisine and modern interpretations, delivering a refined escargot experience every time.
