Flavors-AND a LITTLE HISTORY of Osage

Chocolate History

Chocolate was a highly valued food in Mesoamerica, primarily as a warm, frothy drink made from roasted cacao beans ground into a powder and mixed with water. It was often flavored with maize, vanilla, chile peppers, herbs, honey, and contained caffeine, serving as a stimulant. Special vessels were used for drinking chocolate, indicating their social and cultural significance. Osages tell of travels that describe the South American macaw. Osage traded far and wide with other tribes.

Black Dog Jalapeno Fudge

$TBD

Black Dog was the Chief of the Osage and was credited with devising a clever plot that saved the tribe in the Battle of Claremore Mound. This fudge is clever, too. It sneaks up on you with a bit of unique flavor. Wait for it! 1 lb.

Whizbang Chocolate Fudge

$TBD

  

Whizbang, officially called Denoya, was an Oklahoma petroleum boom town in the 1920s and 1930s. At its peak, the Whizbang area had a population of 10,000 persons and 300 businesses. It was considered the rowdiest of the many oil field towns in Oklahoma. Our fudge will bring out the rowdy in your tastebuds.  1 lb.

Cowboy Coffee Fudge

$TBD

Cowboy coffee is a traditional method of brewing coffee that dates back to the days of cowboys on the trail. It’s a simple and effective way to make a strong, flavorful cup of coffee without fancy equipment. Coffee and fudge. A great combination. 1 lb.

Wah-Zha-Zhe Walnut Fudge

$TBD

  

The most powerful tribal group in Missouri's early history was the Wah-Zha-Zhe, " the Water People.” The Osage say their ancient ancestors once lived in the sky before encountering the earth. They speak of descending from the “above world” and landing in the “middle world.” This combination of chocolate and walnuts will take you to your world of delight. 1 lb.


Special Fudge Flavors

The Osage In-Lon-Schka dances are divided into three districts, typically during June, for four days at each district: Pawhuska, Hominy, and Grayhorse. Each district hosts four days of dancing, eating, and celebrations. Each district maintains the same agenda and other similarities. Osages return from all over the world for these ceremonies.

Zon-Zo-Li’n Raspberry Fudge

$TBD

  

Zon-Zo-Li’n (the Dwellers of Upland Forest) reflects the Hominy District. Many Native American tribes used berries of various types to make pemmican. Blackberries, and wild grapes are among the other fruits gathered.  One favorite dish is the use of wild grapes to make grape dumplings.  

We used raspberries to make a beautiful, full-fruited fudge.  1 lb.

Pah-Sue-Li’n Peanut Butter Fudge

$TBD

Pah-Sue-Li'n (the Dwellers upon the Hilltop) Grayhorse. The need for oil during World War II encouraged the expansion of peanut production. Additionally, the Osage passed a resolution that created the Naval Reserve.  The reserve was a 5,120-acre tract of oil-rich land in Osage County, between Hominy and Fairfax, which the United States Navy could use for emergency wartime oil production.

We honor the legacy of the war effort with the strategic addition of peanut butter to chocolate.   1 lb.

Wa-Xa-Ko-Li’n Chocolate Caramel Fudge

$TBD

  

Wa-Xa-Ko-Li’n (the Dwellers of the Thorny Thicket) is the name of the Pawhuska District.  Caramel was introduced by European settlers around 1650.  The use of wild honey and the caramelization process imparts a rich, deep flavor, as well as a golden-brown hue. Osage first had contact with Europeans after the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.  Our fudge blends these two distinct flavors into a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth fudge, reminiscent of the blending of the two cultures.                 1 lb.

Dark Chocolate Caramel Fudge with Sea Salt

$TBD

    

This is another variation in the use of chocolate and caramel, but with the addition of sea salt. Salt has played a crucial role in the diets and cultures of Native American communities. Historically, salt production and trade flourished in prehistoric eastern North America after around 800 CE. The Osage dominated the trade along the Missouri River. The addition of sea salt to the fudge harkens back to the extensive trade skills of the Osage.                                          1 lb.
