Cheese is not automatically considered kosher because its production process introduces multiple critical supervision challenges under Jewish dietary law. Specifically, traditional cheese manufacturing relies heavily on animal rennet extracted from the stomach linings of slaughtered animals, which may not be kosher, and requires active rabbinical oversight during milking and curdling to ensure no non-kosher elements or mixtures are introduced. Without strict certification, standard commercial cheeses fail to meet these stringent requirements.
