Notes on Non-Animal Rennet Usage Microbial rennet (often labeled “non-animal” or “vegetarian”) is produced via fermentation and is enzymatically identical to animal-sourced chymosin. It delivers reliable coagulation and melting properties for mozzarella. Using vegetable rennet (e.g. from thistle or nettles) is less common and can yield bitter taste or altered texture. Most commercial non-animal cheeses use microbial rennet due to its consistency and strength
