Hi all! I hope it's ok to revive old threads here (if not do let me know)....

I'm wondering where to buy Rennet.... I'm in WA, Perth (more specifically around Fremantle)...

I found http://cheeselinks.com.au/
but I was hoping it was something that was easier to find than mail order...
also cheeselinks seems to only sell kits.

can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks :)

I bought some junket tablets. From memory I used 4 tablets crushed up and mixed with a tiny bit of water.

ah! Thanks cookie. I had really bad luck with junket before  :D and I did read somewhere it wasn't quite the same thing but if it worked for you I'd be willing to give it a go.... might be easier to find. (anyone else with comments about rennet?  :) )

I will use 2 this time then, thanks Uni. I think you did mention it before. Even my DH likes home made Haloumi.

Thanks for the link cookie and for the reply fundj&e! I bought some junket and extra milk :)
and they had a sale on Quark so I got some to make more cream cheese!
