Add Rennet

The rennet forces a coagulation of the milk. I use liquid animal rennet. However rennet is also available in forms derived from vegetables and is available in tablet form.

The recipe for Spanish Manchego can be found here. When you are done with this movie, just close the window.

Rennet forces a coagulation of the milk. Mix the rennet (1/2 teaspoon for this recipe) in 1/4 cup of cool distilled water. Then, stir into the warm ripened milk gently but thoroughly. The renneting reaction begins at about 4 minutes, so don't stir for more than 1 or 2 minutes. Cover, and let set for the proper coagulation time.
