Where to buy Rennet & Citric Acid?

[Ducay]

Looking to try my hand at some fresh mozzarela and couldn't find either of these at Safeway or Superstore.....any ideas?

Italian market?

Danlac Canada is a cheesemaking supplier, and their office is in Airdrie.

I don't know if they sell to individuals, but it might be worth investigating.

Grind up your Centrum for Seniors vitamins for the Vitamin C.

None close to me, and while mozza may be known as italian, pretty much all cheeses start with milk + rennet.

And goto a farm under cover of darkness, tip a cow, and reach in real deep for the rennet?

You should be able to buy rennet at a well stocked health food store, maybe even Planet Organic? Failing that, how about a phonecall to the Springbank Cheese Company. They have a local outlet in Willow Park Village too.

Citric acid is found in lemon, orange, lime juice, could you not just use some natural fresh juice from any of those citrus fruits?

My parents used to have a container of citric acid when i was young. I'm kind of assuming they bought it from either a drug store or a grocery store.

There's a store on 17th Ave, at about 12th Street, that sells all the stuff you need for this kind of activity:

Did you look in the canning section for citric acid? As for rennet, not too sure, sorry - hope some of the other links help you out.

If you want your cheese to taste like lemon, orange or lime?

No, it causes curdling or separation and usually goes in the whey which is disposed of.

Lots of baking recipes call for buttermilk, and the substitution always recommended is 1 Tbsp citrus juice per cup of milk. And the cake or whatever never tastes like a citrus product.

He can distill the citric acid out of the juice.

He'll get busted for running a meth lab. All he wanted was some cheese.

I thought I was the only metro weirdo who thought of making cheese.
