kosher cheese
Religiously permitted curd
Kosher cheese is cheese produced according to Jewish dietary law.
The main requirement involves the rennet—an enzyme used to curdle milk—which in conventional cheesemaking often comes from the stomach lining of slaughtered calves.
Kosher cheese uses microbial or vegetable-based rennet instead, or rennet from kosher-slaughtered animals.
The production must also be supervised by a rabbi or kosher certification agency.
