Next, the curd is blown into blockformers where the curd is pressed into 44 pound blocks. The packaged blocks then pass through a metal detector and are marked and bar coded with the exact weight, date, vat number, and block id. number. The blocks are then conveyed into a cooling room where each block is cooled to 50 degrees Fahrenheit at a constant rate during an 18 hour period.
