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
