Lebanon Bologna Seasoning

Lebanon Bologna Seasoning

Lebanon bologna is a traditional, sweet and tangy sausage originating from Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Typically made with beef and fermented or dried, it produces a product similar to salami or summer sausage. While traditionally semi-dried, you can use this seasoning with 4 oz of encapsulated citric acid to create a fully cooked, cured product. The finished sausage will be darker in color, resembling salami, while maintaining that unmistakable bologna flavor.

A traditional Lebanon bologna seasoning carefully crafted to deliver the bold, tangy, and pepper-forward character that has made this unique regional specialty famous for generations. Built with a robust blend of pepper, garlic, onion, and balanced spices, it creates a rich old-world profile that pairs perfectly with smoked beef products. Designed to produce Lebanon-style bologna with robust flavor, savory depth, and the distinctive, memorable taste that keeps people coming back for another slice.

Salt builds overall flavor intensity and helps define the seasoning's savory character while enhancing the natural flavor of the meat.

Sugar contributes a mild sweetness that balances the pepper and spice components while helping create the characteristic flavor profile associated with traditional Lebanon bologna.

Pepper serves as one of the signature ingredients of the seasoning, delivering a bold, lingering warmth and the robust bite that defines this style of bologna.

Spices provide additional aromatic complexity and depth, supporting the pepper-forward profile while contributing to the old-world character of the finished product.

Dextrose adds a clean sweetness that helps round out the sharper spice notes and creates a smoother, more balanced flavor experience.

Onion and garlic powder provide a rich savory backbone that complements the pepper and spice components while adding depth and aromatic complexity throughout the sausage.

Natural spice extractives enhance aroma and flavor impact, helping deliver a fuller, more vibrant, and consistently satisfying Lebanon bologna flavor from first slice to last.
