    Perfect rennet , I Use it to make cheese at home. It gives a more quantity and good quality of cottage cheese. It has double strength, which is suitable for the milk we use, which contains a high percentage of fat.

    Chymosine double strength

    Posted by Aimee on 13th Apr 2020

    In the past, all the rennet I’ve bought has been amber or brown colored - I’m not sure why this one (which I thought was the same stuff) is clear. Seems less strong than previous rennet I’ve bought from you. I usually use 5-10 drops per two or three gallon batch. With this new rennet that’s resulted in a very soft cure that was difficult to form up . Note from Steve/thecheesemaker: This is the same rennet as before. It is now made without coloring and is the same strength. Coagulation can vary based on temperature and type of milk used. To use, always mix in with a little water then slowly draw across your vat, using 2 pulls. Stirring longer than two or three pulls can disrupt the rennet's coagulation.

    Chymosin: A Bioengineered Marvel

    Posted by Michele Wolski on 19th Sep 2019

    In my senior high school biotechnology class, we begin each year testing various curdling agents to make cheese. We use rennin, chymosin and buttermilk. The chymosin always comes out first for speed (5 to 10 minutes until curdling occurs) but buttermilk takes top place for volume of curds. Students then take the role of a technician to recommend a curdling agent to their "supervisor" and propose further research.

    Really sets well

    Posted by Sandy on 28th Jan 2018

    Just got this rennet in and have already made several 4lb wheels of Colby with it. It sets the milk up to a good break stage in correct time for my recipes. Thanks, Steve, for the suggestion for this rennet.
