Liquid Chymosin
Bixa Liquid Chymosin
A liquid chymosin coagulant for cheesemakers who want a clean, well-defined curd and predictable behaviour.
What it is
- Chymosin is the specific milk-clotting enzyme that does most of the coagulation work in traditional rennet. Bixa Liquid Chymosin is a liquid coagulant in which chymosin is the clotting enzyme.
- Because chymosin is highly specific in how it acts on milk protein, cheesemakers often associate it with a clean curd and predictable behaviour through the make — including in styles that are held or aged.
Who it's for
- Growing cheese businesses standardising their process
- Small and medium commercial producers
- Dairy producers and cheese factories
- Artisan cheesemakers working on aged styles

Product questions
What is the difference between rennet and chymosin?
Rennet is the name for a milk-coagulating preparation. Chymosin is the specific enzyme inside traditional rennet that does most of the clotting. So chymosin is an enzyme; rennet is the product category. Our full comparison explains what that means in the vat.
Is chymosin suitable for aged cheese?
Chymosin is widely used for aged styles because it is specific in how it cuts milk protein, which matters over long ripening. Ripening outcomes still depend on milk, culture, moisture, salt, pH and ageing conditions — not on the coagulant alone.
How much Bixa Liquid Chymosin should I use?
Follow the dosage information supplied on the product label, then adjust based on your own set-time observations. Dosage cannot be transferred directly between different coagulants because coagulating strengths differ.
