Rennet, processed from the stomachs of unweaned calves, is often used in the production of hard cheese as a curdling and coagulating agent. Kosher hard cheese is produced with microbial rennet, which is derived from kosher sources. Because hard cheese is typically made with animal rennet, the Rabbinic sages decreed that even when animal rennet is not used, a full-time supervisor must be present to guarantee the kosher integrity of the product.
Provola cheese is traditionally made from cow's milk and is not inherently vegetarian. However, whether it is considered vegetarian can depend on the rennet used in its production. If the rennet is animal-derived, then the cheese is not vegetarian; if it uses microbial or vegetable rennet, it can be considered vegetarian. Always check the label or inquire with the producer to confirm its suitability for a vegetarian diet.
A block of cheddar cheese flavored carrageenan could be considered vegetarian cheese--if you consider it to be cheese. If you define cheese as coming from milk then the only vegetarians who would knowingly eat it would call themselves lacto-vegetarians. Non vegetarian cheese is made with rennet, which comes from a calf's stomach. Vegetarian cheese is made with a vegetable rennet substitute. Rennet is a digestive enzyme that causes the milk proteins to curdle (clump together), turning the milk into something that resembles cottage cheese. The next step in making cheese is to remove the whey from the curds.

Brie cheese is generally considered vegetarian as it is made from milk, cream, and bacteria, without the use of animal rennet. However, some Brie varieties may use animal rennet, which is derived from the stomach lining of calves. To ensure a cheese is vegetarian, it's best to check the label for "vegetarian rennet" or consult the manufacturer. Always verifying the ingredients is essential for strict vegetarians.
Many brands of feta cheese offer vegetarian options that do not contain animal rennet. Look for feta labeled as "vegetarian" or specifically "rennet-free." Brands such as Athenos and Dodoni often provide vegetarian versions, but it's essential to check the packaging for specific rennet information, as formulations can vary. Always verify by reading labels or checking the manufacturer's website for confirmation.
The difference between "normal" cheese and a vegetarian cheese is the type of rennet that is used. An animal based rennet is typical in regular cheese, whereas in a vegetarian cheese it would be planet based. Rennet is used for coagulation in the process of making cheese.
No, as it contains animal rennet derived from the cow's stomach.
Only if the cheese is made with vegetable rennet.
