Diana is the undisputed temple of Bolognese tradition. Their Galantina is a masterclass in preservation, featuring a mosaic of chicken, tongue, and pistachios encased in a delicate, crystal-clear jelly that melts on the tongue.

Operating since 1932, Tamburini is a sensory overload of hanging hams and artisanal cheeses. Their Galantina is prized for its density and the high ratio of lean meat to fat, making it a favorite for both locals and gourmet travelers.

This Bib Gourmand recipient focuses on 'zero-km' ingredients. Their Galantina uses heritage-breed 'yard chicken' (pollo di cortile), resulting in a much deeper, more rustic flavor than the standard commercial versions found elsewhere.

Located in the heart of the ancient market, Simoni is famous for its 'taglieri' (platters). Their Galantina is sliced paper-thin, showcasing a beautiful, intricate pattern of meats and vegetables that looks like stained glass.
