-Mother Teresa

🛠️💻️ Utah Valley Job Fair

🌳🧘♀️ Outdoor Yoga @ The Orchard
Ono’s Malasadas
OUR STORY
While on their annual vacation to the Hawaiian Islands, Sophia Bussio and her family discovered Malasadas, a Portuguese fried sweet dough, a food staple in Hawaii. Sophia and her family saw the opportunity to bring the malasada magic to Provo. Excited to embrace the opportunity, the Bussios dove headfirst into the world of fried dough, later naming their new company “Ono’s Malasadas.”
OUR NAME
The name, a fusion of Hawaiian and Portuguese, encapsulates what a malasada truly is. “Ono” in Hawaiian means “delicious,” while in Portuguese, “Malasadas” translates to “bad dough” — a contradiction that perfectly describes the treat.

Trivia Answer ✏️
ETIENNE PROVOST
More info about Etienne
“During the first decades of the 19th century, many fur trappers and traders hunted beaver in Utah Valley. Etienne Provost –a French-Canadian trapper–working out of Taos in present-day New Mexico is perhaps the first white man to have seen the Great Salt Lake.
In 1824 he led a company into the Great Basin. While camping, they encountered a band of Shoshone Indians. The mountain men were invited into the Shoshone camp, but were told it was bad luck to have metallic objects nearby. As Provost’s men laid their weapons aside, the Shoshone attacked them. Only Provost and a few of his entourage escaped.”
