Cash turnover required by cheese-maker? (6)

I believe the answer is:

rennet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'by cheese-maker?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'cash turnover' is the wordplay.
'cash' becomes 'tenner' (slang for UK ten pound note).
'turnover' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (the letters turn over).
'tenner' written backwards gives 'RENNET'.

'required' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rennet that I've seen before include "Cheesemakers use this" , "Substance that curdles milk" , "Substance curdling milk in cheese-making" , "cheese maker?" , "Substance used in cheese making" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
