Another process, which may be denominated the American process, is as follows : Starting from the point where we began with the Cheddar system—the time when the heating was done—the curd, instead of being allowed to pack, is gently stirred to keep it fine and prevent it from packing. The stirring is kept up and the whey is kept on until the acid becomes distinct. The curd is from time to time tested, and as soon as it will respond to the hot iron test, the whey is drawn, the curd dipped into the sink and carefully stirred enough to prevent its adhering till it is sufficiently drained for salting. It is then salted at the rate of 2}^ to 2^. Fig. 66.
