Dinstuhl's Is Now Kosher

On October 1st, 2004, Dinstuhl's Fine Candy Company officially became kosher by the Vaad of Memphis. Rabbi Jacob Greenblatt, who is involved with the Vaad of Memphis, recently supervised the kashering of the Dinstuhl's candy plant on Pleasant View Road in Memphis. 

The process of kashering the main kitchen was not as difficult as it would seem at first. The hardest part was finding a kosher gelatin to make marshmallows. "That was the only ingredient we had to change," said Rebecca Dinstuhl, President and acting manager of Dinstuhl's Fine Candies. Dinstuhl's can now prepare candies and confections for Bar and Bat Mitvot, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, special occasions and organization fundraisers. 

Dinstuhl's has provided candy with the same high quality to which our customers have been accustomed for over 100 years. That has not changed, Dinstuhl's just answers to a higher authority now.
