Information

Liquid microbial rennet STRONG: one drop per litre of milk

This is the heavyweight among rennets. The enzyme activity is 250,000 MCU/ml, many times stronger than standard rennet, which means ten drops are enough for ten litres of milk. A small 30 ml bottle therefore covers around 500 litres, half a cubic metre of milk. The rennet is derived from the fungus Rhizomucor miehei and is vegetarian.

Vegetarian
Precise dropper

The strength is both the advantage and the trap. When every drop counts for that much, accuracy matters more than usual. The bottle has a built in dropper, and the rennet should always be dissolved in a little water before it is stirred into the milk. It works on fresh milk, low pasteurised milk up to 74 degrees, goat milk, sheep milk and plant based milk.

Pro tip!
Too much rennet is one of the most common causes of bitter cheese. The excess enzyme keeps breaking down proteins during ripening, and you only notice it weeks later when the cheese should be at its best. Count the drops rather than splashing, and write down what you used for each batch.

Features

  • Huge capacity: A 30 ml bottle coagulates up to 500 litres of milk.
  • Vegetarian: No animal enzymes, produced by fungal fermentation.
  • Universal: Works on fresh and low pasteurised cow milk, goat, sheep and plant based milk.
  • Precise dosing: The built in dropper makes it easy to measure small amounts accurately.

How to use

  1. Heat the milk to 30 degrees.
  2. Add calcium chloride dissolved in a little water, stir and wait 10 minutes.
  3. Continue heating the milk to 37 to 38 degrees.
  4. Work out the dose, 10 drops per 10 litres, and dissolve the rennet in about 50 ml of water at 37 to 38 degrees.
  5. Pour the solution into the milk and stir well for about 1 minute.
  6. Stop all movement in the milk and leave it undisturbed for 50 to 70 minutes until the curd is firm.

FAQ Frequently asked questions

How does this differ from standard microbial rennet?

Concentration. This one is 250,000 MCU/ml and needs only one drop per litre, while the powder rennet is dosed at 1 gram per 20 litres. Both give the same kind of curd, but this one lasts far longer per krone if you make cheese often.

Why do I need calcium chloride?

Because pasteurisation shifts the calcium balance of the milk. Without calcium chloride the curd stays soft and the yield drops, however strong the rennet is.

Can I use it for vegan cheese?

The rennet itself contains no animal ingredients. Used on plant based milk the result is vegan, but note that plant milk coagulates differently from cow milk and gives a softer curd.

How is it stored?

Tightly closed in the fridge at 4 to 8 degrees. Since the bottle goes so far it takes a long time to use up, and then correct storage is what decides whether the strength holds.
