It's really pretty much like it sounds. You dry out the curd a bit during the make, then pack it in salt to dry out some more. Then the cheese will be more stable because of so little moisture. And if you soak it up again, it will reconstitute a bit. Still will be fairly dry. What specific guidance do you need? Technical process markers?
[edit] I have never seen this done firsthand, have only heard descriptions of the process. But is seems pretty straightforward.
