Is there a such thing as a vegetarian/vegan cheese? There seems to be much confusion on this matter. If there is is it sold at regular grocery stores. ( shop n save, schnucks, aldi, etc.) Thanks.|||Ricotta is made without rennet. If a normal cheese states rennet on the label its no indication of the type of rennet. Only the manufacturer will know. Rennet can be natural (calf stomach), artificial (microbiological) or alternative (plants). Microbiological rennet is made with genetically modified bacteria. Vegetarian cheese is made from milk that is coming from animals. Vegan cheese is made from soya milk.|||Most supermarkets will sell one or two brands of non-animal rennet cheese (hidden amongst the Great Wall of Rennety Cheese). You just need to read labels, find a few brands that are ok, and then stick with those. (If the label just says "enzyme" then it's almost 100% guaranteed to be an animal enzyme - rennin, pepsin, lipase, etc.). I've never found a vegan cheese in the supermarket. I once found soy cheese, but it was a long time ago and contained something which rendered it non-vegan - either rennet or casein or egg, can't recall which. I live in Australia, and can buy several non-animal rennet cheeses - one brand of blue-vein, one brand of grated parmesan, a few brands of mozzarella, a few brands of feta, a few brands of haloumi, one or two brands of colby, an elbo-style, and a few others, such as tasty, extra tasty, cheddar, peppato, etc. I can also occasionally find a few imported non-animal rennet cheeses from the UK, such as a red Leicester and a double Gloucester.|||There are many vegetarian cheeses: A list of vegetarian cheeses by type: http://cheese.joyousliving.com/CheeseLis鈥?/a> A list of vegetarian cheeses by brand: http://cheese.joyousliving.com/CheeseLis鈥?/a> Kosher cheese is safe for vegetarians, as it cannot contain rennet.

Yes, there are plenty of cheeses that dont use this enzyme, but just check the labels and you wont get in strife.|||You can call the manufacturer to find out if cheese has rennet in it.
