Understanding Cheese Attributes

These attributes appear on every cheese profile and aren’t just trivia — they can matter for allergies, dietary restrictions, religious observance, and food safety. Here’s what they mean:
The animal source of the milk: cow, goat, sheep, buffalo, or a blend. Milk type drives flavor and texture, and matters if you’re managing a dairy sensitivity — some people who react to cow’s milk protein tolerate goat or sheep cheese better.
The enzyme used to coagulate milk into curds:
  • Animal rennet — traditionally sourced from the stomach lining of young ruminants. Not vegetarian.
  • Vegetable/plant rennet — derived from plants like thistle or fig sap.
  • Microbial rennet — produced by fungi or bacteria; the most common vegetarian-friendly option today.
Rennet type is essential info for vegetarians and for anyone following kosher or halal dietary law.
How the milk was treated before cheesemaking:
  • Raw — unpasteurized milk.
  • Pasteurized — heated to kill harmful bacteria; the standard for most commercial cheese.
  • Thermized — a lighter heat treatment between raw and full pasteurization.
Raw milk cheeses carry a small risk of foodborne illness. They’re generally not recommended for pregnant people, young children, older adults, or anyone immunocompromised.
