Tradition ...what it's all about!


Croghan Bologna is a smoked prepared meat of unusual flavor and appearance. In taste, it's closest cousins are salamis and sausages, and it looks, well, -- probably like nothing you've ever seen before!

The fine quality flavor and unique ring-like shape of Croghan Bologna began in 1888 when Swiss immigrant Fred Hunziker brought a smoked beef recipy with him to northern New York. He founded the Croghan Meat Market and began preparing his bologna the same way it was made in Switzerland.

In 1919, Mr. Hunziker retired and the Elmer Campany family purchased the Meat Market and the original recipe for Croghan Bologna. Initially distribution was limited to the village of Croghan. However, as its popularity and reputation grew, so did its demand throughout the surrounding areas.

Throughout the years the Recipe and manufacturing location have remained unchanged. Today, the Campany family continues to produce Croghan Bologna in the fine tradition initiated by Mr. Hunziker. The small town meat market quality and pride goes into every ring of Croghan Bologna.

Croghan Smoked Breakfast Sausage links are also a family favorite since 1888. Using only the finest cuts of meat and an original blend of spices, they are also naturally smoked over hardwood fires and make for a great meal or snack.
