You referred to cheese being made with animal enzymes.  This
is animal renet, and is used for the purpose you stated.  However,
most cheese is made with some kind of renet, but there is vegetable
renet.  This is used in most domestic cheeses since it is cheaper.
Almost all imported cheese DO use it.  In most hard core coop's and
health food stores, the kind of renet used in the cheese is usually
stated, however, in other grocers and restaurants you can't count
on it.  If it's not a very fancy or expensive place, chances are
that they are using the cheaper cheeses with vegetable renet.
I don't profess to know a lot on the subject, but this is what I
have been told.  If anyone else has better information, please
correct or add to the above.
