Year-round, the Kosher Store in the Colonie Price Chopper, under the strict supervision of the Vaad Hakashrut of the Capital District, includes a larger Kosher meat and deli department as well as the area’s only full service Kosher bakery. The expanded department is the largest Kosher section in Northeast New York (between Monsey and Montreal).  In addition, the Kosher meat shop, deli and seafood departments will be koshered or prepared for Passover (under the strict supervision of the Vaad Hakashruth of the Capital District) in order to provide customers with the most popular fresh cuts of meat - brisket, Top of the Rib, French Roast, Veal Roast and Turkeys.  Kosher for Passover deli salads, meat provisions and cuts of salmon will also be available.
