Availability of Rennet for your cheesemaking

We have been going through an awkward time recently! No more Renco it would seem so we have replaced with quality Microbial rennet tablets offered by French culture producer Danisco  – Marschall M-50 rennet tablets suitable for  lactic and non lactic milk application.  You can now purchase a blister pack which contains ten, crushable tablets.

Availability of Renco Rennet

Renco Rennet is at the present moment unavailable.  We apologise for this dilemma and are working hard to solve the problem.  In lieu of rennet perhaps consider using white vinegar or lemon juice until we can offer a suitable product for making your cheese. Again we apologise for this sudden disruption to your cheesemaking.

A little Cheese Tip

Manchego – the hard ewes milk cheese from Spain makes a brilliant cheese fritter.  Whisk two egg whites into peaks, mix in 4 0z (100g) grated Manchego plus breadcrumbs, thyme and sweet smoked paprika.  Deep fry little balls of the mixture gently in olive oil.  Truly delicious!
