Renard Point, Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry, V23 FA33
Kenmare Select is an award-winning smoked-salmon producer, based at Renard Point near Cahersiveen on the Iveragh Peninsula rather than in Kenmare itself, of oak-smoked Irish salmon that sells online and supplies restaurants and delis. Smoked salmon is one of the signature things to bring home from this corner of Kerry, and Kenmare Select is the name you will see for it, with gift boxes and sides you can order or pick up. It is a genuine artisan food producer rather than a shopfront attraction, so check where and how to buy before you travel. A proper Kerry food gift to take home.
