Kosher Certification
Our countertops are specifically designed to meet kosher standards, which allows them to be prepared for Passover and transitioned between dairy and meat usage. This Kosher Certification is an endorsement by the Kol Simcha rabbinic agency, affirming that the product’s ingredients, production facility, and the production process itself have been thoroughly inspected. This scrutiny ensures there are no traces of non-kosher substances in either the tools or machinery used in production. The emblem of Kosher Certification guarantees consumers that the product and its production process strictly adhere to all requirements set out by Kosher Law. The process of kashering can be conveniently conducted by pouring water from a ‘kli rishon’ directly onto the countertop surface. This certification reflects our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of our customers.
