I really like cheese, but I'm also vegetarian. It would be a useful feature to mark which cheese is vegetarian on this visualization. I know it's not the point of the website, but it'd be a nice bonus :)
- loganc2342 6mo agoExcuse my ignorance, but is there any reason any cheese on here wouldn't be vegetarian?
- rkomorn 6mo agoLots of cheese is curdled using rennet, which can come from stomachs of killed calves.
- rf15 6mo agoIf you check wikipedia, you will find that most is coming from GMO'd yeasts and moulds these days.
- rkomorn 6mo agoOkay? Lots of European cheeses still use animal rennet, including several well known AOC (or PDO in English, I guess) ones with recognizable names. I can check Wikipedia all I want but that doesn't make several of the cheeses I like to buy vegetarian.
- Insanity 6mo agoYup, exactly this. I’m European and prefer EU cheese, but many do use animal rennet.
- ComputerGuru 6mo agoIsn’t that kind of an “implementation detail” of the cheese? Like you can’t categorically say one way or the other for some without knowing the process used? Obviously some forego that altogether, but for the majority it would simply depend, no? (I have many close friends that are similarly pedantic though for other reasons.) Anyway, the site lets you categorize by processing method. All the acid cure options should meet your requirements, no?
