Abstract:
    The present invention provides a process for continuous production of cheese products in which: a) an essentially homogeneous liquid product stream is produced from the starting materials necessary to produce the cheese product; b) the liquid product stream is, if desired, subjected to heat treatment; c) the product stream is, if desired, cooled down to a temperature suited for setting viscosity; d) the viscosity of the liquid product stream is set to a desired value by directing all or part of the product stream through a closed circulation system, at least at the beginning of the process, and in the process, subjecting it to a shear force; and e) the product stream is diverted from the circulation system and, after any desired further treatment and/or interim storage is removed as a finished product.
