” AC LaRocco does not permit their cheese manufacturers to use Rennet. There is no animal rennet or hormones in our cheeses. Rennet is an enzyme that was widely used in the processing of mozzarella cheese prior to the 1990s. Its function was to curdle milk. The rennet enzymes used were found in the stomach lining of nursing baby calves. Thanks to a campaign against the use of rennet, new non-animal base enzymes have been developed that are as effective and affordable for cheese makers.
