Did you know that most cheese contains animal rennet (lining of a calfs stomach) ?!
Answers: No I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
Yes. Rennet causes the milk to seperate the solid components from the liquid: the first step in cheese making.
No I didnt, I am going to have to check the labels now. What would it be labelled as?
In the UK I am noticing that more cheeses seem to be vegetarian these days than non-vegetarian. The use of rennet appears to be much less than about 10 years ago. Not sure why, but this is a good thing, as I had a nice vegetarian cheeseboard this Christmas!
Yes.
Yes. Fine cheeses contain rennet. Vegan cheese does not. That is why the vegetarian/vegan cheese taste like, melt like and are crap. Anyone who says this "stuff" tastes good has palate as refined as a pig.
