The method includes the steps of feeding the blank (2) onto a relative forming mandrel (9); sealing one end ( 3) of the blank (2) to form a container (6, 106, 206) open at the apposite end (4); removing the container (6, 106, 206) from the mandrel (9); and sterilizing the container (6, 106, 206) before filling it with the pourable food product; and the method also including the step of preheating the container (6, 106, 206) by heating the mandrel (9) before sterilizing the container (6, 106, 206).
