Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Great web site! I still am using cheese though my New Year's Resolution was to become vegan over the course of the year...I still have time I guess! Scrolling through, it looked like there is no feta safe for veggies. How about goat cheese? Does that use animal rennet I wonder?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I Googled the subject, but couldn't find anything about rennet or goat cheese.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Some of the soft goat cheeses have no rennet, like cherve (sp?). On the label sometimes it actually says rennet, sometimes it just says 'enzymes' without a source. hth, Peace, Diane , " Melissa " <mapalicka wrote: > > Great web site!
