I just happened to be watching a bunch of cured meat videos on youtube. Of course, there's a ton of family videos, but there's one thing I found interesting and I didn't know what it was. This lady salted the coppa muscles. After salting, she rinsed with water and wine, then seasoned them. Then she wrapped them in what she called "paper". They were thin sheets that she wrapped them in and then netted them for hanging. No casing was used. Does anybody have a clue what this "paper was"? I wish I copied the youtube clip.

From what I see in the video she is using what I use:

They are pasted hog sheets, aka known as Italian curring wrap sheets in Australia. Some of the vendors in Australia market them as "collagen" which they are not. The sheets are made from from dried hog casings and made in China not Italy. Here is some info from the main manufacturer, a Dutch company with a production plant in China.

As far as I know, they are not available at the retail level in the Land of Donald, but available in Europe, Canada and Australia.

It wasn't even about the price considering the shipping is usually more than the product I need. The bungs were a pain. Some were real tight. I thought this would be easier if it works. I did see a video where they did use an open casing and just wrapped it with no sewing and threw them in a net. Similar concept as the sheets.
