The invention relates to a forming and cooling device for a flowable, melted food mass 1, more particularly processed cheese, comprising two parallel, oppositely rotating cooling belts 2, 3, which are each guided over an upper 4 and a lower 5 deflection roller and are separated from each other in order to form a continuous strip 6 of the food mass, wherein the cooling belts 2, 3 are each acted upon by a cooling fluid 7 on the side facing away from the strip, characterized in that a tubular supply channel 8 is formed at the upper region of each cooling belt 2, 3 and is equipped with a plurality of outlet conduits 9 arranged side by side, the central recess of which is cylindrically formed and by way of which a laminar, non-turbulent cooling-liquid stream 10 can be placed upon the cooling belt 2, 3.
