Understanding Kosher Certification & Rabbinical Supervision

For consumers who observe kosher dietary laws, certification provides confidence that food adheres to Jewish law. Maison Michaël exemplifies this commitment by preparing every product under rigorous kosher standards combined with full compliance with French and European regulation.

Kosher certification confirms that food complies with Halakha — the body of Jewish dietary law. It involves detailed inspection and supervision of every step, from sourcing through to final packaging. Maison Michaël's products are prepared in France under the Mehadrin — Harav Nechemia Rotenberg certification, recognised across several European Union countries and representing the highest level of kosher compliance.

The certification is overseen by Grand Rabbi Nechemia Rotenberg, official representative of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and Rabbi of the Jewish Community of Vienna. Ritual slaughter is performed by a shohet authorised by the Chief Rabbinate, without prior stunning, under his direct oversight throughout the process.

Ritual slaughter takes place at Euralis Gastronomy in Lescar, France — a facility approved by French veterinary authorities and operating under Regulation (EC) No. 1099/2009. The result is a dual commitment: religious authenticity and regulatory rigour, traceable from farm to frozen case, and trusted by professionals.
