I was a bit surprised when I learned that cheese is not Hallal. (automatically) Rennet can also be sourced from pigs. This was often the case in Norway at some point. I am not sure when it started. I believe few places use it now, some smaller cheese makers might.

And not kosher for the same reason. But even today with 100% artificial rennet there is still a rabinical decret instituting that all cheese are forbidden without supervision.

  *decree I think you can still consider it kosher regardless, unless you're trying to sell it

  What does 'without supervision' mean in this context?

    That the rabbi gets some too?

I'm in Norway, and you are correct. Vegetable rennet is more common - well, at least Tine and Synnøve both use it for their cheese products.
