What do Suitable for Vegetarians and Made with Unpasteurised Milk mean by some cheeses?
‘Suitable for Vegetarians’ means that this cheese is suitable for vegetarians because the rennet which starts the cheesemaking process uses a plant extract. Vegetarian cheeses do not taste any different to ones using animal rennet. ‘Made with Unpasteurised Milk’ means that this cheese is made using unpasteurised, sometimes called, raw milk. Usually it gives the cheese a better flavour and some cheeses can only be made using unpasteurised milk.
