Abstract

A multilayer structure produced by piling a plurality of laminated cheese foods. Each of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure has at least three layers. The food with at least three layers includes two external layers of platy food material containing cheese which have inherent releasability from external layers of adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods when piled into a multiplayer structure. An intermediate layer of platy food material, which may be formed of a plurality of intermediate layers of platy food material inherently bond together, is disposed between two external layers of each cheese food, the intermediate layer being inherently bonded to the two external layers of each cheese food.

Claims (33)

1. A laminated cheese food, comprising:

a multilayer structure produced by piling a plurality of laminated cheese foods, each of said plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure having at least three layers, the at least three layers including:

two external layers of platy food material containing cheese; and

an intermediate layer of platy food material, wherein the intermediate layer may be formed of a plurality of intermediate layers of platy food material which inherently bond together, the intermediate layer being disposed between and being inherently capable of bonding to the two external layers of platy food material,

wherein substantially 90% of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure are releasable when stripped one by one by hand from the adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure.

2. The laminated cheese food according to claim 1 , wherein the platy food material in the intermediate layer is cheese different from the cheese contained in the platy food material in the external layers in type or colour tone, or is cheese having higher maturity, more water or fat, thus being softer, or having lower pH, than the cheese contained in the platy food materials in the external layers.

3. The laminated cheese food according to claim 1 , wherein the platy food materials in the intermediate layer contain foods other than cheese which are in a liquid, paste, powdery, solid, or fibrous state.

4. The laminated cheese food according to claim 1 , wherein:

the platy food materials in at least one of the external layers or the intermediate layer contain additives or raw materials for adjusting colour tone, and

the colour tones of the platy food materials in the external layers or the intermediate layer are the same or different.

5. A laminated cheese food package according to claim 1 , the package being formed by wrapping the multilayer structure produced by piling said plurality of laminated cheese foods, each of said plurality of laminated cheese foods having said at least three layers.

6. A laminated cheese food, comprising:

a multilayer structure produced by piling a plurality of laminated cheese foods, each of said plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure having at least three layers, the at least three layers including:

two external layers of platy food material containing cheese; and

an intermediate layer of platy food material, wherein the intermediate layer may be formed of a plurality of intermediate layers of platy food material which inherently bond together, the intermediate layer being disposed between and being inherently capable of bonding to the two external layers of platy food material,

wherein two external layers are an upper external layer and a lower external layer, the upper external layer and the lower external layer each having an upper side and a lower side,

wherein in each one of the plurality of laminated cheese foods, the lower side of the upper external layer and the upper side of the lower external layer remains fixed to the intermediate layer, and

when piling the plurality of laminated cheese foods, the upper sides of each of the upper external layers face the lower sides of the lower external layers of adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods, and

wherein at least 90% of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure are releasable when stripped one by one by hand from the adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure.

7. A laminated cheese food, comprising:

a multilayer structure produced by piling a plurality of laminated cheese foods, each of said plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure having two layers, the two layers including:

an upper layer of platy food material containing cheese; and

a lower layer of platy food material containing cheese, the upper layer and the lower layer each have an upper side and a lower side,

wherein in each one of the plurality of laminated cheese foods, the lower side of the upper layer bonds with the upper side of the lower layer, and

when piling the plurality of laminated foods, the upper sides of each of the upper layers face the lower sides of the lower layers of adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods,

wherein at least 90% of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure are releasable when stripped one by one by hand from the adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure.

8. A laminated cheese food, comprising:

a multilayer structure produced by piling a plurality of laminated cheese foods, each of said plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure having two layers, the two layers including:

two external layers of platy food material containing cheese,

wherein each of the two external layers include an inner surface and an outer surface,

wherein the inner surfaces of the two external layers of platy food material containing cheese face each other and bond with each other,

wherein the outer surfaces of the two external layers of platy food material containing cheese face outer layers of adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure, and

wherein substantially 90% of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure are releasable when stripped one by one by hand from the adjoining ones of the plurality of laminated cheese foods of the multilayer structure.
