Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Here is a a list of animal rennet free Cheese. http://cheese.joyousliving.com/ http://cheese.joyousliving.com/CheeseListBrand.aspx We love the Cabot cheese. Here is some more info about the different kinds of rennet found in some cheese. Rennet, used in the cheese-making process, can come from animal, vegetable, or microbial sources. Animal Rennet This enzyme is obtained from the stomach region of a suckling mammal, usually a calf of a lamb. Animal rennet is the traditional rennet used to make cheese. Most European cheeses use animal rennet. Vegetable Rennet Vegetable rennet is derived from plants. The enzymes are extracted from the plants and modified into a form similar to that of animal rennet. This type of rennet is acceptable for a lactovegetarian. Microbial Rennet This is a common enzyme made by microorganisms through a process of fermentation. Common microorganisms include fungi and bacteria. This type of rennet is also acceptable for a lactovegetarian. Yours to Enjoy, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
