Yes. The basic laws of Kashrut (keeping kosher) are in the Torah (see Deuteronomy ch.14), which according to tradition was given in 1312 BCE. Many of the finer details of kashrut are in the Talmud (especially tractate Hullin), which was handed down orally, and finally put in writing 1500 years ago.
