From farm to product

At Namsnails, quality doesn’t start at packaging — it starts at selection. Every step of our processing journey is designed to preserve freshness, enhance safety, and deliver a superior snail product that fits modern consumer needs. While much of the world still relies on tinning, we’re focused on shaping the future with IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) snails for better usability, texture, and storage.

It all starts with selecting the right snails.

Snails are carefully selected based on the quality and size. Only snails that meet our strict standards move forward in the process.

To ensure top quality the snails undergo a controlled precooking process. This is a very important step in maintaining the natural texture and flavour of the snail. The time, temperature and conditions are closely managed to achieve the best quality.

Once the snails are precooked, the flesh is carefully removed from their shells. This step is handled with attention to detail to prevent damage to the meat and to ensure consistency across batches.

Once the flesh is removed from the shell, the intestines are separated from the edible portion of the snail. This meticulous process guarantees a clean, high-quality final product that meets both culinary and hygiene standards.

To further ensure safety and shelf stability, the snails undergo post-cooking sterilization. This step eliminates any remaining microorganisms while preserving the integrity of the meat.

Once sterilized, the snails are packed and rapidly frozen using IQF technology. Each snail is frozen individually, preventing clumping and making portioning easy for consumers and chefs alike.

Why IQF Over Tinning?

The global market has long favored tinned snails, but at Namsnails, we believe there’s a better way. IQF snails offer:

• Better texture and taste

• Easier portion control

• Longer, more flexible storage

• No compromise from heavy brines or preservatives

  
  

By choosing IQF, we’re giving consumers a product that’s closer to fresh, easier to use, and more versatile in the kitchen.
