Vegitarian cheese is made using rennet from fig or pear sap.


Pear sap isn't something I've heard about before. Do you mean common old
domestic fruiting pear?


I've seen photos of drawing a drop of sap where the pear is picked and
using that for the rennet. I can't tell what type of pear it was by my
memory of the photo. I think a common variety. The tree looked like
the ones that grew in the neighborhood where I was a kid.
