So, what is vegetarian rennet?

Vegetarian rennet is a natural ingredient commonly used in the production of cheese as a substitute for traditional animal-based rennet. It is derived from microbial or vegetable sources, such as fungi or thistle plants, and is typically used in vegetarian and kosher cheeses. Vegetarian rennet is a popular choice for those who wish to avoid animal products, as it provides the same coagulating properties as animal-based rennet without compromising the taste and texture of the final product. With its increasing popularity, vegetarian rennet is now widely available and is considered a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional rennet.
