Step inside a modern European snail-processing facility, where strict hygiene protocols, temperature-controlled production flows, and precision culinary engineering transform farm-raised snails into gourmet garlic-butter escargot for restaurants and retail markets worldwide.
This cinematic documentary follows the complete farm-to-freezer supply chain — from early-morning harvesting at rural snail farms to washing, sorting, cooking, shell extraction, portioning, garlic-herb butter filling, rapid freezing, vacuum sealing, labeling, palletizing, cold-storage warehousing, export shipping, supermarket display, and final home cooking.
Watch how traditional French culinary heritage meets modern food-processing technology, as stainless-steel production lines, automated blanching systems, blast-freezing tunnels, robotic packaging cells, and data-driven quality control ensure flavor consistency, food safety, traceability, and premium presentation at every stage.
