ABSTRACT:
A device and method for forming pieces of cheese weighing several ounces or less while retaining the skin normally formed on the cheese piece in the cooling process, and at the same time obtaining a desired internal structure. Warm plastic cheese is extruded into a first mold having a sliding low friction end cap, by means of a screw extruder, at 1000 pounds per square inch; the first mold is then positioned over a second mold having a plurality of forming chambers formed therethrough, the second mold is made of UHMW and the volume of the second mold is slightly less than the volume of the first mold. Pressure at 3000 pounds per square inch is applied to the mold end cap while the cheese in the first mold is still plastic, forcing the cheese into the forming chambers; the cheese pieces formed are retained in the forming chamber until a skin is formed and then they are ejected into a brining tank.
