Did you know…not all cheeses have historically used animal rennet

Certain cheeses, like cottage cheese and paneer are coagulated using an acidic ingredient like vinegar or lemon juice. Also certain artisanal cheeses like Cornish Yarg usually use vegetarian rennet.

Typical Usage Level

30 ml per 100 litres of milk.

This may be varied according to the condition of the milk, particularly the calcium levels as calcium plays a key role in the clotting activity of the rennet. If a soft set is noted then the addition of calcium chloride solution can help.

We can also provide guidance using the IMCU International Milk Clotting Units scale such as 2,600-3,300 IMCU per 100ml of milk for semi-hard cheese.
