Hi M,
I think it depends on where you live. I get animal rennet from Glengarry Cheesemaking and Dairy supply in Canada but they only ship in Canada.
If you live in the US, try

Merlin
I've listed several
cheese making supply stores by country here
.
From Glengarry's website, I believe they also ship to US out of NY State.
That said, the last I bought here in US was microbial (none animal) based rennet off of ebay for cheap.
Info posted here
.
Great to see you are getting into cheese making

i read somewhere that the vegitarian rennet is a clone off the animal stuff take some from a calf stomach and inject it into a netutral bacteria and it multiplies as rennet, will look for a link but its the same stuff just they can concentrate the vegetable stuff.
.....strange that they call it vegetable rennet was my first thought maybe its a vegetarian bacteria lol.

bec1986, I posted some
info on "rennet" here
. Seems like rennet is a word we and industry uses but actually the active ingredient is chymosin and I agree, it's kind of grey if you could call that vegetarian.

I suppose cloned/duplicated vs obtained from a killed animal is an important differential but John I agree.

Yep from the info I've read it is a piece of gene of calf spliced into genes of bacteria and yeast, so what constitutes vegetarian? Things become blurred, anyway, personally I still like the idea of using that "rennet" than calf made "rennet".
