Kenmare Select began with one desire: to create a smoked salmon worthy of appreciation of gastronomes around the globe.'Rémy Benoit, Founder Kenmare Select was started by award-winning chef, Rémy Benoit, in 1991. Born in France, Rémy worked in the industry for 40 years and joined Hilton International Hotels after completing a BA in Hotel Management from Glion in Switzerland. Rémy's desire for a more hands-on approach to gastronomy led to the establishment of Rémy's House in 1982. Based in Kenmare (Ireland), this restaurant was an instant success with listings in the Michelin, Egon Ronay and Good Food Guides. There he developed what would become the signature taste of Kenmare Select Smoked Salmon. Kenmare Select was sold to Quinlan's Kerry Fish in 2017.
