Homemade fresh cheese uses two essential ingredients: milk and rennet - a protease enzyme that makes cheese "coagulate", or thicken, milk during the cheese making process. Rennet can be of animal origin (enzyme obtained from the calf's stomach), vegetable origin (thistle, lemon juice or vinegar) or of chemical origin (sold in most pharmacies). You can find animal rennet in most health food stores or online.
