A method for forming and cooling an initially hot and therefore flowable melted cheese (1), which is applied via a supply nozzle onto a moving metallic cooling belt (3′), wherein individual shaped bodies (6) are formed out of the melted cheese (1) in that a shaping roller (5), which comprises molding cavities (7) located in the surface, impinges upon the cooling belt (3′), wherein a pressure of the shaping roller (5) against the cooling belt (3′) is provided during forming that induces full displacement of the still-hot melted cheese (1) from the region of the separating webs (8) delimiting the individual molding cavities (7) and bearing against the cooling belt (3′), wherein the formed bodies (6) are released from the molding cavities (7) and are cooled by remaining on the moving cooling belt (3′).

A device for forming and cooling an initially hot and therefore flowable melted cheese (1) comprising a supply nozzle (2) for applying the melted cheese (1) onto a moving metallic cooling belt (3′) and comprising a shaping roller (5) disposed downstream of the supply nozzle (2) in the direction of motion, wherein the shaping roller (5) is capable of impinging upon the cooling belt (3′) at a point at which the cooling belt bears against a counter-pressure roller (11), wherein the shaping roller (5) comprises a number of molding cavities (7) formed in the surface, which are separated from one another by separating webs (8), wherein the separating webs (8) are formed by the remaining surface (12) of the shaping roller (5), wherein the shaping roller (5) is capable of applying a pressure by way of the separating webs (8) onto the cooling belt (3′) that results in the full displacement of the still-hot melted cheese (1) from a region of the separating webs (8) lying thereupon, so that shaped bodies (6) of melted cheese (1) released from the molding cavities (7) remain on the moving cooling belt (3′) for cooling.
