Seltzer's Lebanon Bologna Company

The smokehouse has been an operating business in the little, aged community of Palmyra for over 100 years. The phone number for Seltzer's is 800/282-6336. Call for directions. Factory tours are available, and the tasting room is open 7am to 5pm on weekdays.

I've liked Lebanon Bologna since I was a kid. Although I don't think I've eaten any for around a decade, I couldn't resist a visit. Sadly, there was no time for a tour, so a tasting would have to suffice. Stepping into the lobby was like stepping back into the 1950s. Everything from the decor to the bologna ladies in their hairnets looked delightfully dated.

Although they sold beef sticks, jerky, souvenir T-shirts, etc, the only product made on site, and their specialty, was the Lebanon Bologna. Come hungry, because they offer several types for sampling—all in full slices. I tried the traditional and told the lady that I loved it. She shook her head no and said, "Wait until you try the sweet. We all like the sweet."

She was right. Both the white- and brown sugar-sweetened types were delicious. My personal favorite was the double-smoked and brown sugar-sweetened one. I bought a stubby log of it for less than $5.
