Rennet
(2 products)
Rennet is the enzyme that sets milk into curd, the step that turns milk into cheese. This range has Mad Millie Vegetarian Rennet as a 50mL liquid and as a tablet strip of 10, with each tablet setting 4 litres of milk.
You will also need a cheese culture for flavour and acidity. Starter cheese making kits include both, and cheese making equipment covers moulds, cloths and thermometers. See everything in cheesemaking.
Liquid or tablets?
Liquid rennet is easy to measure for any batch size and suits regular cheese makers. Tablets are pre-measured for 4 litres of milk, which makes small batches simple, and they keep well.
