Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Megan- as far as I know, rennet is an enzyme that comes from the inner lining of a calf's stomach. There are certain co-ops that produce cheese free of all enzymes, such as (i believe they are called) Pine Valley (or maybe it's Pine River Valley) and they usually label their product as rennet free. -Keith- --- Megan Milligan <yasminduran wrote: > okay, one of my new year's resolutions was to take a > closer look at the list of ingredients in a product > to avoid animal-based products. > > My dilemma: I love cheese.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 okay, one of my new year's resolutions was to take a closer look at the list of ingredients in a product to avoid animal-based products. My dilemma: I love cheese. I've been on the lookout for ingredients like rennet, but many of the ingredients in cheese don't specifically list rennet or casein. They simply say "enzymes". Would rennet be considered a cheese enzyme? Thanks for any answers! Megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
