Spanish term or phrase: Mantellina
Appears in a list of ingredients for a recipe for stuffed pig's trotters. The only other context is the following instruction:

"Coloca la manita encima de la mantellina, rellénala, y envuélvela con la mantellina."

Is it perhaps some kind of pork fat? Suggestions welcome.
