WELCOME TO FEREIKOS HELIX fff 

In Greece, until the last few years, the edible snail came entirely from natural collection and consumers would treat it as a seasonal product connected mainly with local traditions.

 Nowadays, the open, full biological cycle production is growing rapidly, and after many years of studies and experiments, has become a safe and controlled activity that ensures the continuous availability of snails throughout the year.

 FEREIKOS-HELIX is based in Korinth – Greece, and deals with the development of open snail farms in full biological cycle globally.

 The origin of the company’s name derives from the ancient Greek word "fereoikos", the word “fero” stands for carry, and “oikos” stands for house, which literally translated means “I carry my own house”, a word which characterizes the snail.

This ancient, composite word, which is no longer used in Greece, illustrates that snails have marked, throughout the centuries, the tradition and tastes of humankind.

 The company started operating in Greece in late 2007. In January 2008, FEREIKOS-HELIX signed a contract with the International Institute of snail-farming based in Italy and became the exclusive representative for Greece.
