About Bixa

A family business that has thought about rennet for three decades.

Bixa Products is family-owned and specialises in one thing: the coagulants that turn milk into cheese. We grew up in the Latin American cheesemaking market, and that's still the tradition our work is rooted in.

Our story, briefly.

  1. Where we started

    A family business built inside the Latin American cheesemaking market, supplying the ingredients fresh-cheese producers depend on.

  2. What we learned

    More than 30 years of watching how coagulants behave in real production conditions — different milk, different seasons, different vats.

  3. Where we are now

    Supplying rennet and chymosin to cheesemakers in the United States, from single-vat artisans to growing commercial producers.

  4. Why we publish

    Most rennet questions online are answered badly. We write the answers we'd want if we were standing at the vat.

How we write about cheesemaking.

We don't invent numbers

If a dosage, strength or certification hasn't been confirmed, we mark it as pending rather than guessing on your behalf.

Coagulation is never one variable

Milk, temperature, pH, calcium, dosage and process all shape your curd. We refuse to blame or credit a single ingredient.

We answer questions personally

Luis reads the difficult ones. If your batch is misbehaving, that conversation is more useful than a spec sheet.
