Abstract

The invention relates to a cooling mold unit for cooling molded cheese products by means of a cooling liquid, in particular water. It comprises at least one cooling mold, in particular a tubular cooling mold, that can be filled with a cheese mass and that has—in the position of use—an end-face upper opening and an end-face lower opening, at least one tray having at least one leadthrough for receiving the cooling mold, and a base element, in particular a base plate, that is connected to a lower end of the cooling mold and that has at least one recess which is associated with the lower opening and through which the lower opening is accessible. The cooling mold is arranged in the leadthrough, wherein the leadthrough is dimensioned such that an at least sectionally peripheral gap is formed between a margin of the leadthrough and an outer wall of the cooling mold. The present invention further relates to a cooling device for cooling molded cheese products by means of a cooling liquid.
