Abstract:
A dispenser for a viscous fluid food product, the dispenser comprising:a supple pouch having first and second ends, a sidewall that can be arranged to form first and second opposed surfaces, and an outlet, the pouch containing a viscous fluid food product therein;a housing configured and dimensioned for receiving the pouch;a roller having a pressing surface disposed in free pressing engagement with the first surface of the pouch so as to constantly put the pouch under pressure by effect of the weight of the roller so as to urge the viscous fluid food product content toward the outlet and a planar surface disposed adjacent the second surface of the pouch,a closure independent from the pressing roller engaged with the outlet for closing the outlet, the closure being capable of opening the outlet to release the pressure in the pouch and thereby cause the roller to move by gravity effect along the pouch surface toward the outlet by gravity for expelling the viscous fluid food product through the outlet.
