Instructions

I just wanted to let you know that Parmesan cheese is not vegetarian because in order for it to be called Parmesan it is made with a method involving enzymes from the stomachs of calves.
That’s not true–that labeling rule only applies in EU countries. In the US, Parmesan cheese made without animal rennet is easily available. I usually buy Whole Foods 365 or Organic Valley brands.
I didn’t know about the US rules, I was just concerned that readers unaware of the traditional rennet content in Parmesan would want to be informed. I’m relieved that you’re using a different kind!
