Mfr. of melted cheese in block form - with veins made from second cheese with different flavour and colour

摘要

New type of melted cheese, sold in the form of distinct blocks, is obtd. by preparing the usual paste of melted cheese and then preparing separately a second paste flavoured and/or coloured differently from the first. The usual paste is poured by successive doses into the mould and at the same time the second paste is injected into the first as it descends to the mould. A rotating drum dosing device allows of the periodic introduction of the second paste. This is delivered to the dosing device at 70 degrees C. As a result, the cheese which fills the mould shows pleasing, irregular veins and marbling effects due to the second cheese paste. Each mould may be rotated a quarter of a turn during filling so that the veins are drawn out slightly and given a helical appearance. The cheese obtd. has a characteristic, attractive appearance; the flavour as well as the colour can vary considerably. Fragments of nuts can also be added and the process can be operated on the industrial scale.
