Not for Aged Cheeses
We used this rennet for a year, making all different kinds of cheeses, and those aged longer than about 6 months started to develop a bitter taste. The longer they aged past that point, the more bitter they became. When it came time to replace it, I was reading on the Rennet FAQs page on this website, and they briefly mentioned under the description of animal rennet that vegetable rennets can cause a bitter taste after 6 months! I have been working from Ricki's book "Home Cheesemaking", and many of Jim's online recipes, and I never saw a warning about using vegetable rennet for long aged cheeses. For the most part, this website is a treasure of information, but not having this warning plainly displayed on this webpage, where you sell this product is, in my opinion, a disservice to your customers.
United StatesThis rennet works well
I decided to try this vegetable rennet after teaching a class where a student had issues with calf rennet. After using it all summer (I make goat milk cheese daily) I'm on my second bottle and it has become my favorite rennet.
United StatesEXCELLENT PRODUCT!!
We have been using this product for years in our chevre! Highly recommend!
United StatesExcellent product
I love my vegetable rennet. We are not Jewish but we recognize the health aspect of following the biblical guidelines. I have heard a fair amount of frustration with vegetable rennet from other people but have found that I have to be very careful about how much I add as this has never failed me and often my cheese has ended up much firmer then what I intended. Am definitely sold and will continue to buy it.
United StatesVery good product.
I am new to cheese making and the liquid vegetable rennet is really easy to use. I had heard bad chat about how liquid veggie rennet was unreliable with set up etc. I have found this kind completely reliable. It gives a very nice texture to it and makes an amazing cheese.
