Seltzer’s Beef Lebanon Bologna, Sweet Lebanon Bologna

I'm not sure why these are called bolognas as they are more like German-style sausages, not very finely ground like Italian bolognas are. They are wetter and softer than most German sausages but also not nearly as soft as Italian bolognas. Both are not unlike summer sausages and I prefer them to the Schaller & Weber summer sausage that I've had.

 

Beef Bologna: Very lean, mild spice, mild sour (like sauerkraut) note.

Sweet Bologna: Similar to the regular version but has a very unique sweet character. Not overwhelming, not cloying, really quite perfect. Sweet balances nicely with sour. Adding substantial amounts of sugar to a sausage sounds like a precarious and often catastrophic move; this is maybe why I have never seen any producer do it. Seltzer, though, does a fine job and offers a completely unique product.
