Oso is the brainchild of a dynamic duo—a charming husband-wife team hailing from diverse backgrounds, one from Chile and the other from Southern Ontario. Their love story began in the scenic landscapes of Whistler, culminating in a move to the island where they embarked on their journey of family and culinary adventure with Oso. Since its inception, Oso has been on an exhilarating ride, gracing markets across town, establishing a presence in the Coho Commissary, and even earning a coveted two-page spread in Faces magazine. Their endeavours haven’t gone unnoticed, with nominations for various accolades in Victoria.

But Oso’s story is far from over. With ambitions as grand as their flavours, they’re set on expanding their footprint with brick-and-mortar shops in the future. Their passion knows no bounds, and with each sweet success, Oso only grows more determined to spread their love for desserts far and wide.
