A method for preparing a coated cheese product, includes:a) injecting a cheese material in the viscous state between two coating films, the films being malleable at the storage temperature of the coated cheese product, and each including, on the outer face, at least one external layer of a coating composition C1 in the gelled state, the coating composition including at least one hydrophobic polymer, andb) shaping at least a coated cheese product by pressure on the outer face of each coating film to obtain a coated cheese product including a cheese core including the material and a coating that is malleable at the storage temperature of the coated cheese product and sealed against moisture and microorganisms, and completely surrounds the core at its periphery, the coating being formed by assembly by pressure of the two coating films including at least an outer layer of the coating composition C1.
