Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Yes, it's legal. It's an enzyme that is made from the stomachs of young calves, I believe.... commonly used in cheese making. Some people like to use rennetless cheese for other reasons. Patti Rennet??? Two cheeses that I purchased today (swiss and cheddar) are organic but contain rennet. Is rennet legal?

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Rennet is most commonly made from a mold, or genetically modified bacteria to produce the rennet, which is actually just enzymes. Real cow's rennet would be used in more expensive cheese, whereas lower quality uses either the rennet produced from mold or the GM stuff, also called chymosin. I'm trying to experiment with making cheeses, but only if my brother will fix his sterilizing equipment so I can use the milk.....
