Not only is the rennet listed on this site suitable for many different cheeses, it’s also perfect to make the delicious, old fashioned pudding ‘Junket’ too.

Vegetable rennet is used in the production of kosher and halal cheeses, but nearly all kosher cheeses are produced with microbial rennet nowadays.
Luckily, there has been much improvement over recent years, in microbial coagulants development. They no longer produce a slight bitter after taste. This is largely due to the characterisation and purification of secondary enzymes responsible for bitter peptide. Consequently, becoming possible to produce great tasting cheeses with microbial rennet.
Vegetarian rennet is also suitable for vegan cheese, provided no animal-based ingredients are used in its production.
Animal Rennet is a complex set of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals. Chymosin, its key component, is a protease enzyme that curdles the casein in milk. In addition to chymosin, animal rennet contains other enzymes, such as pepsin and a lipase.
Rennet has traditionally been used in cheese making to separate milk into solid curds and liquid whey. Animal rennet from calves has become less common for this use, in favour of plant and fungi derived alternatives.

Abdul Rauf Butt –
sir i am littel bit confuse please tell me how much cncentration of tablet use as i just want coaglate 3 or 4 liter of milk
*Response
Dear Abdul, each tablet is enough for up to 50ltrs of milk. You would need to use only a tiny amount of one tablet. In your case, liquid rennet would be easier to use. Is this an option?*
Simon Reed –
Couldn’t carry liquid rennet back to Africa so my wife bought your tablets. They worked very well and we will re-stock when we are back in the UK.
