General Info:

Ohia Bakery was created in 1988 when its founder Andrew Vliet wanted good tasting Portuguese sweetbread. When no good bread was found in local stores, Andrew spent the next year perfecting his recipe which became to be known as Moloka i Sweetbread. He would talk to local kupuna and ask them how they prepared their traditional Portuguese Sweetbread. Andrew spent over a year making countless batches of dough and baking bread. Trials, errors and lots of taste testing went on. The name "Ohia Bakery", is derived as Andrew was living on the West Ohia Ahupua a at the time he created the recipe. Over the next few years, Andrew looked for ways to sell his bread and would often be baking for local organizations on Moloka i for fund raising events. Being there were only 6,000 residents on the island, Andrew decided to fly to Honolulu where there were there was a larger market.
