A web search on "vergellata" brings up a large number of prints down on
"vergellata paper" (or carte vergellata). Perhaps this is something baked
in parchment?

I have an old Italian recipe which calls for "carne salata
vergellata." I am fairly certain that the "carne salata" is
"salted meat," but probably not bacon. Can someone tell me
about the "vergellata"?

Something in the brawn/potted-haugh/potted-heid/head-cheese family?
