Chocolates by Brandon Olsen

CXBO, the boutique chocolate shop is the brain child and passion project of Brandon Olsen, the mega-talented chef de cuisine from La Banane, The Black Hoof, and Bar Isabel (and previously apprenticed in the kitchens of The French Laundry).

Using a cacao barry single origin couverture, the ultimate in designer chocolate, Olsen pays special attention to ensure each confection has a certain (and natural) flavour profile. In order for the ingredients to speak for themselves, he ensures that actual ingredients are in the chocolates, not a chemical or artificial flavour.

Chocolatier Brandon Olsen works with just one base ingredient – cocoa. But from this one ingredient he creates infinite textures, tastes, and colours. CXBO's unique branding and packaging were developed from the same principles: one constant ingredient, transformed by paint, texture, and colour to be as unique as the chocolates inside.
