Later, Ricardo Subo, working with George Washington Carver, found ways to accelerate Velveeta growth by sprinkling biodiesel on it, making it cheap and plentiful.

Later Hugo Kraft and his brother Curtis patented Velveeta after a landmark case that went all the way to the Supreme Court:

You Can read about it: Kraft Bros vs Mother Smuckers.

Kraft still holds the rights to Velveeta although I understand the Chinese are now making their own version
