Difficulty: Challenging

Step1
Be certain the matzo is strictly kosher. The rules regarding kosher (that is, fit for use according to Orthodox Jewish law) are strictly set forward and must be followed by Orthodox Jewish people.
Step2
Visit a large delicatessen. Many delis offer a selection of matzo to go. Fresh matzo from a good deli is sure to be the most satisfying matzo available.
Step3
Buy Matzo from a Jewish grocer. This is a surefire way to get one 100 percent kosher matzo. For matzo to be kosher it has to be prepared in a strict manner, and a Jewish grocer will guarantee the authenticity of the products he sells.
Step4
Pick up Matzo at large supermarkets. The ethnic food area of large supermarkets often has a section for Jewish food. The matzo sold in large supermarkets comes from the largest distributors of kosher foods.
Step5
Order matzo online and get it directly from the producer. Large kosher food producers (see Resources) have websites for ease of ordering.
