The Greek name for rennet is "πήγμα" (pígma). Rennet is an enzyme used in cheese-making to curdle milk, and its Greek term reflects its role in the coagulation process. It's derived from the stomach lining of young ruminants, traditionally used in making cheeses like feta and kasseri.
Greek feta traditionally uses animal rennet, which is derived from the stomachs of ruminant animals, to curdle the milk. However, there are also versions made with plant-based or microbial rennet for those seeking vegetarian options. Always check the label, as the type of rennet can vary by brand and production method.
