The invention relates to a method of producing an uncooked pressed cheese
paste, comprising the following steps: a curd is obtained from the
coagulation of raw milk and/or milk which has been seeded with ferments;
the curd is pressed in order to produce a volume of tomme; the tomme is
left to stand for a first maturation phase; the tomme is ground to
produce grains of tomme; the tomme is left to stand for a second
maturation phase; the tomme is broken up to produce grains of tomme; the
salted grains of tomme are poured into a tubular moulding machine with a
vertical axis, comprising at least one tubular column; and, finally, the
grains of tomme are pressed in the aforementioned column in order at
least to form one tube shape which can be cut into portions. The cheese
paste thus obtained can be plain, salty, sweet or flavoured or contain
fruit extracts.
