Junket is a company that made prepackaged powdered dessert mixes and ingredients for making various curdled milk-based foods such as rennet custard ice cream and rennet tablets. In 1874 Christian Hansen founded Hansen’s Laboratorium in Denmark to make rennet extract for the cheesemaking industry. Later in 1878 he opened up operations in the United States. Herkimer County New York was chosen for the headquarters since it was the center of the US cheese industry at that time.
