The Lady gets a lot of requests for cheeses that meet specific dietary needs. After goat cheese (ych…) the next two most requested cheese categories are “Vegetarian Suitable” and cheeses made from raw milk for those following the raw food lifestyle.

The Lady decided to build a chart to help these two lifestyle enthusiasts enjoy cheese more.

  1. Brenda Shaw Says:

    Nice! As a vegetarian I haven’t tried to go rennet-free yet, because it still seems like too rare a thing and I love my cheese.

    In general, are there certain types of cheeses that are not made with rennet? For example, paneer is traditionally curdled with vinegar or lemon juice. Are there other varieties where rennet is Just Not Done?

    • cheesemonger Says:

      Brenda, I will need to do more research…give me a few days and I’ll try and get a few choices for you that are rennet-free.
