Goat Lady, hope you don't mind I split your post into new topic . . . now that's interesting!

I googled "NYTIA TYOY" and zero hits in the whole wide world, so I assume it must be in Greek characters. Is there any more info on the container such as manufacturer or do you know where you could buy it?

Also, is it for use with goat's milk or cow's milk and is it just a rennet or lipase or starter culture or combination of all 3 or something else?

I 've to translate the bottle nothing comes up. Next time I get into town I'll stop at the greek bakery and see if they can help

Well, the greek work for rennet is pytia (πυτιά). Can't make out the second part, though. If you scan the label or take a pic, I can read/translate for you.
