Liquid Microbial Rennet
Bixa Liquid Microbial Rennet
A liquid microbial coagulant for cheesemakers who want a straightforward, repeatable set.
What it is
- Bixa Liquid Microbial Rennet is a liquid coagulant produced by microbial fermentation rather than from animal stomachs. Like other rennets, its job in the vat is to act on the milk proteins so that liquid milk becomes a cuttable curd.
- It is supplied in liquid form, which many cheesemakers prefer because liquid dilutes and disperses through milk quickly and evenly compared with dissolving a tablet or powder first.
Who it's for
- Artisan and independent cheesemakers
- Experienced home cheesemakers who want consistency batch to batch
- Small cheese businesses and farmstead operations
- Restaurants and specialty food producers making their own fresh cheese

Product questions
Is microbial rennet vegetarian?
Microbial rennet is produced by fermentation rather than from animal stomachs, which is why it is commonly described as suitable for vegetarian cheesemaking. For a formal statement about this specific product, see the label information supplied by Bixa.
How much Bixa Liquid Microbial Rennet should I use?
Dosage depends on the product's coagulating strength, your milk, your target set time and your cheese style — so follow the dosage information on the product label. Our dosage guide explains how to test and adjust responsibly instead of guessing.
Can I use it with pasteurized milk?
Yes, pasteurized milk is used with rennet every day in commercial and artisan production. High-heat pasteurization can affect how the curd forms, which is why many cheesemakers making fresh cheese pay attention to milk selection and calcium.
