Abstract
A composite unripened curd cheese product is made by concomitantly side by side filling of distinct adjoining masses in a pot. A first mass may be a fermented milk base or at least one flavoring composition while a second mass is a fermented milk base. These masses are generally of contrasting colors and are arranged side by side such that there is no substantial migration of one mass into the other and each mass is accessible for consumption. To do this, the pot has a base, at least one sidewall extending from the base for defining the filling volume and an open top, and the masses are arranged along the sidewall so that each is accessible through the open top.

A composite fermented milk product comprising a pot defining a filling volume and containing distinct adjoining masses including a first mass comprising a fermented milk base or at least one flavoring composition and a second mass comprising a fermented milk base, wherein the masses are of contrasting colors and are arranged side by side such that there is no substantial migration of one mass into the other and each mass is accessible for consumption.
A process for the production of a composite fermented milk product which comprises:
- providing a pot that defines a filling volume;
- separately preparing first and second adjoining masses including a first mass comprising a fermented milk base or at least one flavoring composition and a second mass comprising a fermented milk base;
- and
- concomitantly side by side filling of the pot with substantially equivalent volumes of at least the first and second masses;
- wherein the viscosities and temperatures of the masses are controlled so that there is no substantial migration of one mass into the other and each mass is accessible for consumption.
