Happy Snails. Com
For all our Gaelic friends and me of course.

The snails are processed at a Catalonia, Spain plant where they are partially cooked and hand-extracted from the shell. The animal is sold whole (with the attractive spiral) rather than in pieces, as generally seen in canned snails. Thus, the escargot retain more nutrition and make a more spectacular presentation on the dish. The escargot are packed and sealed in FDA-approved glass bottles. Then the meat is sealed and sent out by air or ground. Shelf life is to Year 2003 & 2004 in the unopened bottle, when open the Shelf life is approximately 3 weeks in the refrigerator for the escargot, and several months if frozen.
