    I want to make some feta cheese. Is there any shop in Dublin you might know to buy rennet?
    or is the only way to buy it online?

    Thanks

    I'm in Kilkenny but what I did was ring a local artisan cheese maker to enquire and she gave me a a small bottle for free, online was the only other option

    Where do you get the culture? online also?

    Is there anywhere to get un-homogenised milk?

    I made yogurt recently and I bought the culture in a Bulgarian products shop in Dublin.

    This time, I want to use a tbsp of commercial yogurt. The one I will use is Fage, which has Live Active Yogurt Cultures

    i am not sure exactly what it is but have seen "raw milk" in temple bar food market every Saturday.


    some years ago, i got cultre and rennet from a chemist shop in the Netherlands. Was unable to source it here.

    "Raw milk" is probably unpasteurised milk.

    Homogenising distributes the cream evenly throughout the milk. Un-homogenised has a layer of cream at the top: "the top o' the milk" that you'd fight for in the morning to put on your cereal :)

    Zombie thread bump - just wondering if anyone knows somewhere in Ireland that now stocks this.

    Home brew west do, except all rennet products are out of stock on their online store.
