About Oialla

Founder Presentation

Rasmus Bo Bojesen has spent a lifetime exploring flavour, craft and the origins of taste. Trained as a classical chef, he soon realised that great gastronomy doesn’t begin in the kitchen – it begins in nature, with the people who cultivate it and the traditions that shape it.

This philosophy led him to the Bolivian rainforest, where wild cocoa trees have grown untouched for centuries. No plantations, no hybrids – just pure, naturally occurring cacao with a flavour that reflects the forest it comes from. It was here that Rasmus found the foundation for Oialla.

For him, chocolate is not confectionery. It is a product of patience, respect and genuine craftsmanship. Every step – from harvesting wild beans to the final chocolate – is guided by the idea that nothing should be rushed, and nothing should get in the way of the true taste of the cocoa.

Rasmus creates chocolate as he approaches all gastronomy: honestly, thoughtfully and without compromise. Oialla is the story of that approach – a meeting between nature and craft, between the rainforest and the chocolatier, told through flavour that speaks for itself

Our Mission

There is no forced child labour in Baures, Bolivia – the home of Oialla’s Beniano cocoa. This is certified and an absolute prerequisite for Oialla to cooperate with local cocoa company, Sumar. The local children are offered free and compulsory primary school and are busy with their studies most of the year.

In many areas of Bolivia the classical stereotypes of men and women still exists. Men are raised to be patriarchs – masculine, strong and hardworking. Meanwhile women take care of the home, meals and children.

To support working women and women empowerment, we therefor aim to recruit mainly women to work with processing the cocoa.

Quite simply the best chocolate I have ever tasted

The best there is, perfectly balanced flavour, good melting point, silky texture once melted. Very rich in colour and smell. Beautifully done with only cocoa and cane sugar.

Absolutely best chocolate ever. My personal favorite is 72% and to have a second choice I am slowly moving towards the 78% as well. I usually buy the 4kg bulk packages and use it as my "house chocolate" just for eating raw. Both the bite, the immediate taste and the lingering aftertast is superb. Highly recommended.

Probably some of the very best chocolate I've ever tasted! You can clearly taste the deep complexity associated with these wild and rare cocoa beans, which, with the great expertise of their chocolatiers, have been taken to an unheard of high level, with a sublime taste experience in all their varieties.

Chocolate fanatics, geeks and anyone who likes quality chocolate should know this address. For many years I have bought Bojens Chokolade and with the latest development to Oialla, Rasmus Bo Bojesen has reached the top in chocolate making. Only approx. 2% of the chocolate beans are criollo, Spanish for native, and here we are working with a wild-growing variety that is even more rare and in demand, namely Beniano. Pure ecology, zero additives, only cane sugar, and it gives pure pleasure when you let this exclusive chocolate melt in your mouth. It is of course also a joy to see a Dane perform world-class chocolate. I have thoroughly gone through French and Belgian chocolate over the past several years and Oialla now has the lead. My personal favorite variant is 72%, it has a really nice mouthfeel, not too fat, not too dry, a nice crack, so the technical level is high. Most important is the taste, rich, rich, elegant, floral, with quite a nice tartness that balances the sweetness, but try for yourself.
The logistics have been working well, so thanks to Rasmus.

I have always sworn by milk chocolate as I thought it tasted like good chocolate. But one day I ran into Rasmus showing some work and after a chat I got a plate of chocolate that was 78 percent. Thought it should just go on the shelf and put away. But to my great surprise, I tasted some chocolate that I had never tried before. My big mistake was to let my wife taste it and she, like me, has become addicted to their 78 percent chocolate and we are now running on ten kg and the wife says in good time. Remember to order chocolate, I know I'm going to run out.
I thought you should try 78 percent because it doesn't taste like a 78 percent, which is usually bitter. But here you have the real taste of good quality chocolate beans.
