My Name is Ollie and I Bake Good Pastries

I first experienced Ollie's Kitchen's specialty cookies five years ago and was immediately impressed with his creative Chocolate Chip Cookie selection from the very first bite including the White Chocolate Walnut Cranberries with Maldon Sea Salt. Quadruple Chocolate Chip Cookie with Maldon Sea Salt and the timeless Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie (for more on Ollie's Kitchen, see my earlier post, Fresh-Baked, Chef-Made Hand-Rolled Cookie Goodness by Ollie's Kitchen  from 2017). 

Along the way, Ollie's Kitchen introduced some inspired and playfully inventive creations including his now famous Champorado Cookies, the indulgent Valrhona Cookie Collection and Pistachio Dark Chocolate variants along with his specialty cakes, viennoiserie, tarts, focaccia, brioche, puff pastry and artisan bread (view the extensive offerings of Ollie's Kitchen on his website at https://www.ollieskitchenph.com/). And his impressive line of decadent offerings continues to grow with his latest creation... 

The new Danish Collection by Ollie's Kitchen presents yet another tempting addition to his line of fresh-baked creations including sweet and comfortingly familiar staples as well as hearty and savory variants baked in the classic style using the finest and freshest ingredients. Get that fresh pot of brewed coffee ready and have a soothing cup for the lowdown on the new Danish Collection by Ollie's Kitchen...  

Sweet or Savory?

Typically sweet, the enduring and timeless Danish Pastry with its multi-layered laminated dough traces its origins to Austrian bakers who brought their viennoiserie tradition to Denmark and has since evolved into a local specialty bearing its now famous name. Ollie's Kitchen adds his own spin with a savory creation adding that bite to the flaky dough with the Croque Madam Danish (P 150). Topped with egg and fresh herbs on lightly crisp layers of buttery and flaky dough filled with ham and cheese, the Croque Madam is just what you need for that perfect start of the day. A double croissant with its laminated layers of crisp dough, each bite delivers hearty and satisfying flavors for a light meal in itself.  

The delicate texture from the buttery layers gives this fresh-baked creation a lavish and luxurious finish, capped by the savory notes from the ham, cheese and egg. Each bites delivers a complex weave of comforting flavors perfectly paired with a bold freshly brewed cup of coffee. The egg completes the savory creation adding a layer of richness. 

The Longganisa with Kesong Puti brings distinctly local flavors to the palate elegantly draped and wrapped in buttery and flaky dough. The bold notes of the local sausages are mellowed and smoothened by the creamy yet mildly sharp cottage cheese for contrasting flavors. These contrasting notes come together with each bite for a delicately balanced Danish. There's always something new to discover from Ollie's Kitchen, and the Longganisa with Kesong Puti is one of those tasty and savory surprises.

The Caprese with creamy Mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and fresh herbs drizzled with balsamic and pesto on a crisp and flaky pastry is another unique and creative twist by Ollie's Kitchen delivering vibrant tart notes with a smooth and creamy nutty finish. The vibrant flavors tease the palate, with the tartness of the tomatoes followed by the smooth creamy notes of the Mozzarella capped by the flaky, delicate lightness of the buttery dough.

The freshness of the ingredients combine for flavorful bursts of bold notes for a unique Danish variation that can only come from the creative mind of Ollie Isidro. The Mozzarella and tomato combo is perfectly finished by the buttery hints of the layered dough for another winning combo. The fresh and clean flavors of the Caprese offer an alternative to the meat-based savory Danish variants for even more tasty options.

After the savory, comes the sweet. Ollie's Kitchen brings traditional fruit combos to his new Danish Collection with peaches, apples and blueberries. The Peach Danish topped with sweet peach on silky smooth vanilla custard and light, rich and flaky pastry tempts the eyes before the palate...  

The flaky crust becomes the perfect vessel for the peach and vanilla custard while adding a crisp crunch with each bite. Glazed with a sweet syrup, the layered dough is a treat in itself. The subtle tartness of the sweet peach with the creamy vanilla custard combine for pure indulgence completing the luscious Danish.

The Apple Crumble brings contrasting textures in a sweet and tart play with flaky twisted dough topped with soft streusel crumbs. There's just something about apples and pastries that give it a homespun and comforting even nostalgic vibe, and this Apple Crumble by Ollie's Kitchen hits all the right notes.

The sweetness of the apples and the buttery hints of the crisp pastry just warms the palate with its comforting goodness. And there's more...

The classic Blueberry Danish (P 500/Box of 6) is probably the most familiar variant associated with this line of European pastries. Buttery and flaky pastry topped with smooth and creamy vanilla custard and sweet blueberry compote, Ollie's Kitchen faithfully recreates the popular Danish staple down to the delicate crispness of the flaky puff pastry crust. The Blueberry Danish is as traditional as it gets, reflecting the classic baking philosophy of Ollie's Kitchen.

Like the Peach Danish, the blend of indulgent vanilla custard and blueberry compote of the Blueberry Danish deliver contrasting notes of sweetness coming together in a balanced and seamless blend rounded out by the soft and delicately crisp and buttery pastry. Fancy a Danish? Make mine a Blueberry Danish.

Savory or sweet? Why not have both? The new Danish Collection from Ollie's Kitchen is a welcome addition to his growing selection of fresh-baked offerings along with his popular cookies, artisan bread and cakes. The sweet and savory selection also re-establishes Ollie's Kitchen's position as one of the top bakers in the metro. And the best part?

Release Your Inner Cookie Monster

Complete your Ollie's Kitchen experience with his specialty and award-winning hand-rolled and fully loaded cookies, individually packed in paper bags. It's these cookies that brought the spotlight to Ollie's Kitchen and continues to shine even brighter with his over-the-top and unrestrained creative approach to the lavish treats that keeps Ollie's Kitchen top-of-mind.

The masterful blend of the finest premium ingredients goes with each meticulously hand-rolled cookie that bears his name resulting in some of the most indulgent creations in the metro. These cookies are a notch above the usual options, the cream of the crop. 

The Macadamia English Toffee (P 120) is a hefty cookie, all 150 grams of pure cookie bliss. From his large and oversized The Big One series, the Macadamia English Toffee includes chunks of premium Valrhona Chocolate with Maldon Sea Salt complemented by Macadamia nuts and English Toffee for decadent flavors. 

The weight of the cookie tells you this isn't your normal cookie. That first bite seals the deal with its elegant blend of Valrhona Chocolate, Maldon Sea Salt, Macadamia nuts and English Toffee. A closer look reveals the dense and chewy texture of the large cookie, and you can just imagine the richness of each bite. The deep nutty notes of the Valrhona are enhanced by the mild sharpness of the Maldon Sea Salt, while the macadamia nuts and English Toffee add a luxuriously lavish depth with its own distinct flavors. 

Probably the richest, chocolatiest creation yet from Ollie's Kitchen. The Quadruple Chocolate Cookie (P 120) is a chocoholic's dream with its decadent blend of Valrhona Chocolate mixtures in one large cookie. Each unique chocolate blend brings a masterful weave of pure chocolate pleasure.

And it's a large cookie. The Big One series from Ollie's Kitchen is as impressive as it looks. And tastes good too.

Then, there's the Classic Chocolate Chip (P 120) with its soft, fudgy, chewy and moist-centered texture that will have you nibbling all the way to your fingers. Loaded with Valrhona Chocolate and sprinkled with Maldon Sea Salt, the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie by Ollie's Kitchen is in a class by itself.

Ollie's Kitchen offers several other must-try variants reflecting a diversity of indulgent styles and combinations from his wide selection like his must-try Valrhona Cookie Collection, Oatmeal Hazelnut Cookie, Chocolate Malt Mallow, Pistachio Dark Chocolate, Pecan Cranberry Cookie, The Big One series and Champorado Cookies. 

A Master Baker's Passion

In addition to cookies, Ollie's Kitchen offers a wide range of artisan bread creations like the Black Truffle & Three Cheese Brioche (P 450). Weighing in at 360 grams, the pillow soft and buttery brioche is loaded with premium Gruyere, Brie and Danish Blue Cheese delivering rich flavors followed by the deep nutty hints of Black Truffle. 

Indulgent? Absolutely. Just pure indulgence in the unique and elegant style of Ollie's Kitchen. The flavors are not overtly pronounced but subtle and even nuanced. The unique blend of flavors from the premium ingredients already tell you Ollie's Kitchen isn't your ordinary baker. You may also want to try the Prosciutto & Four Cheese Brioche (P 400), the sweet Brioche Vanilla Bean Custard Bomb (P 450) and Nutella Brioche (P 400)  by Ollie's Kitchen. Pour yourself another cup of coffee, Ollie's Kitchen has even more fresh-baked treats...

The Pain Au Chocolat (P 550 for a box of 6) is a buttery layered viennoiserie filled with premium chocolate for indulgent bites. The flaky and delicately crisp pastry with its buttery richness provides the flavorful base with textural contrasts followed by the sinful indulgence of chocolate.

Simply warm it in the oven to crisp it up and enjoy. Like all viennoiserie, the soft and crisp laminated dough delights the palate with its buttery finish. And the premium chocolate filling gives it an indulgent punch. Viennoiserie isn't easy, there's a whole lot of tedious hard work prepping the dough and baking it just right for that texture. And clearly, Ollie's Kitchen has mastered the art. 

The Butter Rum Cake topped with walnuts is a moist and sweet dessert pairing well with coffee or tea. The dainty cake is loaded with flavors with rich hints of butter and rum with each bite. The elegant cake isn't overwhelmingly sweet, but it's moist and rich that's perfect with your favorite brew.

Afternoon tea at home becomes a real treat with the Butter Rum Cake but there's so much more to discover and indulge from Ollie's Kitchen...

The Kouign Amann, literally translated to "butter cake" in the Breton language, is a sweet layered dessert made with intricate laminated dough filled with butter and sugar and glazed with salted caramel sugar for that elegant finish and sweetness. The Pistachio Kouign Amann (P 540/box of 6) features the same crisp layers of laminated dough, this time with pistachios and sweet salted caramel sugar glaze.  

The textural contrasts from the delicate layers of pastry deliver a buttery burst with a decadent sweet finish. The Pistachio Kouign Amann adds a layer of nutty sweetness with each bite for an even more luxurious experience. 

Probably the most popular and best known viennoiserie, the Croissant's unique shape is widely recognized and universally identifiable around the world. Ollie's Kitchen recreates the traditional viennoiserie with his Classic Butter Croissants (P 550/box of 6) and Mini Butter Croissants (P 400/dozen). Warmed in the oven, the croissants are great as is with its rich buttery hints. More butter? Add a generous dab of butter and it becomes the perfect breakfast or afternoon snack paired with coffee. 

The layers of laminated dough are tediously prepped resulting in a light, flaky and delicately crisp croissant. One bite and the intricate layers are revealed with a light buttery crispness. For something even more indulgent, try the Almond Croissants (P 580/box of 6) filled with almond frangipane and topped with almond slivers. 

A cup of coffee with warm, soft and crisp croissants at home, it's as classic as it gets. And Ollie's Kitchen lets you indulge in a variety of fresh-baked indulgence with just a few clicks and taps on your mobile device.
