The invention relates to a method for producing a food material essentially consisting of isomalt, characterised in that it includes the steps of extruding and melting the material by raising the temperature to 80° C. to 160° C., preferably 150° C. to 160° C., tempering so as to obtain the material in the stable crystalline form thereof and to eliminate bubbles in the material, and pouring or injecting into moulds. Application of the material obtained as a container.
