Liquid Microbial Rennet — Vegetarian Coagulant for Home Cheese Making
Product description
This product is a double-strength liquid microbial coagulant supplied in a compact bottle with an easy-drop cap for precise dosing. The concentration lets you use just a few drops for small batches or more for larger volumes.
Ingredients include the vegetarian microbial coagulant produced via fermentation of a purified culture of Rhizomucor miehei, plus salt and sodium benzoate as stabilizers. The formulation contains no animal-derived rennet.
Label claims include non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher certification, making it suitable for customers avoiding animal enzymes or certain dietary restrictions.
Use it as the milk coagulant in cheesemaking: add the required drops to warmed milk at cheesemaking temperature, allow curd formation, then proceed with your recipe. It works for a wide range of styles—from fresh cheeses like mozzarella and burrata to firm cheeses such as cheddar and Monterey Jack.
The bottle’s dropper cap simplifies measuring small amounts and reduces waste. Because it’s double-strength, adjustments to drop counts may be needed compared with single-strength rennets.
Package contents: one bottle of vegetarian double-strength microbial coagulant (fermentation of purified culture of Rhizomucor miehei), with salt and sodium benzoate included as preservatives.
Pros
- Vegetarian, non-animal coagulant
- Double-strength for fewer drops per batch
- Versatile for soft and hard cheeses
Cons
- Compact bottle size
- Contains sodium benzoate preservative
- May require dose adjustments from single-strength rennet
VerdictA reliable, concentrated vegetarian coagulant that gives home cheesemakers the control to set curds for both soft and aged cheeses. The drop-cap bottle makes dosing simple, and the formula—derived from a purified Rhizomucor miehei culture—contains salt and sodium benzoate for stability. It’s non-GMO, gluten-free, and certified kosher. Good performance and long shelf life are noted by users, though

Effective coagulant with a dosing caveat

Does the job but small amount
It coagulates milk fine, but the bottle is on the small side.
