How to use
For best results, dissolve the rennet in a small amount of clean water first, then gently incorporate into warm milk.
- Step 1: Dissolve the rennet in 30 ml of fresh, cool water. Let stand 5 minutes to activate.
- Step 2: Warm the milk gradually to about 90°F (32°C). Use low heat and a clean container.

- Step 4: Remove from heat and let the milk stand undisturbed until it sets, typically around 45 minutes.
What to expect in practice
Cheese makers often notice a clean separation between liquid whey and a cohesive curd, with a smooth texture when cut. The microbial origin supports a consistent gel formation, contributing to a predictable curd yield across batches. The product’s labeling emphasizes its suitability for vegetarian cheese making, while remaining compatible with traditional dairy milks for experimentation and learning.
