What is the difference between vegetarian cheese and non vegetarian cheese?
A block of cheddar cheese flavored carrageenan could be considered vegetarian cheese--if you consider it to be cheese. If you define cheese as coming from milk then the only vegetarians who would knowingly eat it would call themselves lacto-vegetarians. Non vegetarian cheese is made with rennet, which comes from a calf's stomach. Vegetarian cheese is made with a vegetable rennet substitute. Rennet is a digestive enzyme that causes the milk proteins to curdle (clump together), turning the milk into something that resembles cottage cheese. The next step in making cheese is to remove the whey from the curds.
Is mozerrela cheese vegeterian?
In fact, most buffalo mozzarella that I've seen is NOT vegetarian. Rennet, derived from the stomachs of young buffaloes, is required for the curdling process. (The young buffaloes must be killed for their rennet to be extracted.) You should check the ingredients and do some research on individual brands before buying, because not all cheeses are the same. Many mozzarella cheeses are made using vegetable, microbial, or other vegetarian-safe rennet or rennet substitute.
Does Philadelphia cream cheese have animal rennet?

Is pig enzyme used in cheese making?

Is pizza A-Gogo halal?
If in doubt, ask the staff if the cheese is suitable for vegetarians or vegans.Traditionally, calf rennet is used to make cheese, but recently vegetarian and vegan cheeses made of non-animal rennet are also sold. Industrially produced cheese, ie the one used by pizza shops, is more likely to be made of vegetable rennet because it's cheaper than the animal rennet.Also, to cut cost pizza shops do not use mozzarella cheese, but some sort of simulated substitute cheese or cheese analogue. The cheese analogue is very likely made of soy.In effect, the cheese in most pizza shops should be halal or suitable for vegans.
