Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 12,000 square-meter facility, CEO Bernadett Kötél said there is very low demand for escargot (edible land snails) in Hungary, compared to the Francophone countries where escargot cooked with herbed butter is very popular.

The family-owned company will buy snails from Romania, Belarus and Lithuania, in addition to Hungary. Hungary has strict quantity restrictions of a maximum of 2,000 tonnes of live snails between April and June, of which Bourgogne Gastronomie plans to buy 400-500 tonnnes.
