- Provides the liquid and milk proteins that the rennet sets into a soft curd.
- Walden’s extract of rennet
- Enzyme that coagulates milk proteins, turning the liquid milk into a set curd.
The step that matters
Stirring in the rennet until well combined. Rennet must be evenly dispersed through the warm milk so that it sets the milk uniformly; uneven mixing can leave pockets of liquid or patchy curds.
