I'm into vegan cheeses lately and looking for a good plant-based rennet that gives a decent set. Tried thistle rennet once but the texture was off. Any tips or brands you like? Open to recs! thanks
 
Hi! I had the same issue with thistle, my cheese came out mushy. I switched to microbial rennet and haven’t looked back. I get mine from Cultures for Health. It gives a firmer set!
 
look for brands that explicitly sell a Double Strength Microbial Rennet. I've had good luck with brands like Chr. Hansen or Danisco products, they are usually available through specialized cheesemaking suppliers online, not just generic Amazon listings
