Kosher food source
A kosher food source in Dublin indicated by the Jewish community is the SuperValu supermarket, Braemor Road, Churchtown (01 2984917). Kosher pre-cooked frozen meals (Hermolis brand) are usually available for purchase. Jewish representatives have emphasised that it is very important that these frozen meals are reheated still sealed in their covers. Removal of this cover renders them not kosher if heated in a non-kosher oven.
Larger quantities of kosher meals can be ordered from www.hermolis.com
A section of the Jewish Ireland website provides information on kosher food. Go to www.jewishireland.org.
