chained_bear commented on the word jaspeada
"Jaspeada (marbled) cochineal was baked; negra (black) was killed on a hot plate; denegrida (lightened) was boiled in steaming cauldrons. Other types of cochineal were dispatched with vinegar, smoke, or sulfur fumes. The relative value of the cochineal these methods produced was anyone's guess."
Amy Butler Greenfield, A Perfect Red: Empire, Espionage, and the Quest for the Color of Desire (New York: Harper Collins, 2005), 105.
