What kind of cheese doesn't have renette?
Answers:
None...without renette it's called milk/cream.
Soft cheeses like cream cheese, cottage cheese,farmer's cheese.
You can get non-animal rennet versions of a lot of cheeses, but it's a case of checking the packaging for the ingredients list.
Generally if it just says rennet, it'll be animal rennet so give it a miss.
Some supermarkets in the UK make their own brand of "vegetarian cheddar" and my favourite cheese, Halloumi, is pretty much always made with non-animal rennet. It is listed in the ingredients and also has the Suitable for Vegetarians symbol on the packaging.
To be on the safe side, always check the ingredients list.
There are many varieties of soft cheeses that use bacterial culture instead of rennet, such as Brie and Camembert.
Many cabot cheeses will say on the package "No animal rennet". Horizon and Applegate farms are, as far as I know from what I have purchased, are animal rennet free as well.

This site list cheese made with VEGAN Rennet & no Rennet
Most cheeses have some sort of rennet in them, however there are 2 main types of rennet. Most cheese will have rennet derived from the stomachs of calves, however there are also plant alternatives. Some companies use animal rennet, some use plant. Other than the packaging suggesting its a vegan cheese, you would probably want to contact the manufactuer to ask what type of rennet they use.
Soya cheese, it uses a seaweed thickener, and is lower in fat and less cholesterol, it is made in block form or in slices like Kraft slices.
