Rennet is a fascinating substance. It revolts me utterly, so I always check for it and avoid buying cheeses that use it.
It's one of those substances that shows the deep ingenuity of the human race; whilst at the same time ups the moral ante on animal consumption. It's the idea of it that I can't get past. First we take milk that's meant for the calf, then we the calf's stomache to partially 'digest' the milk. Bluergh. But brilliant.
