Preserving Argentine Heritage in the Heart of Nova Scotia
The Artisans Behind the Flavor
Every recipe we bake carries the weight of history, passed down through generations and carried across the ocean to our kitchen in Halifax. We believe that true craftsmanship cannot be rushed, which is why we fold every empanada by hand, glaze every medialuna with care, and source premium local ingredients to bring our traditional family flavors to life. This isn't just about baking—it's about sharing the authentic warmth, dedication, and rich culinary culture of Argentina with the community we now call home.

Story
Molde Bakery & Food was born from founder Elbio Chiliano’s masterful blend of die-making and passion for Argentinian cuisine. After finding a fresh beginning in Nova Scotia, he now shares his heritage through authentic, unforgettable flavours.
Launched April 23, 2023, in Dartmouth, we handcraft Argentina’s most beloved icons — medialunas (not a typical croissant), alfajores, and dulce de leche delights — made with authentic recipes, a local twist and ingredients.
Our story is one of bold reinvention. After years in metalworking, Elbio followed his calling: first training as a chef in 1999, then mastering pastry in 2018. Moving to Nova Scotia with his family offered new stability and opportunity — and a chance to share Argentina’s rich flavours with his new community.
His first market in Bedford proved that these unique flavours are a hit. Nova Scotians quickly embraced our tastes, filling hearts and tables alike.
Today, you can find us at Alderney Landing Farmers Market and online—delivering fresh-baked goods that spark memories and connect cultures. For us, food brings people together, stirs emotions and makes people feel at home, no matter where they come from.
Argentine Baking to Every Halifax Home
Our Mission
At Molde Bakery & Food, we bring the authentic flavours of Argentina to Nova Scotia— fresh, homemade, artisanal, prepared with love and produced locally. Every medialuna and alfajor is meant to trigger memories, smiles and a sense of togetherness — so that when you taste them, you feel the warmth of our culture and the passion we put into every detail. We believe in the power of community. We support local and immigrant-owned businesses, sharing a little piece of Argentina with our new home.
Connecting communities and traditions through food.
Our Vision
We dream of becoming Halifax’s go-to destination for Argentinian flavours— a place where every bite tells a story of tradition, creativity, and connection. Our goal is to grow by introducing new specialties, such as empanadas, pizzas, and Argentinian pasta, and to continue building bridges between cultures. Each bite sparks happy memories, making us part of your homes and the larger Nova Scotia family— where we celebrate togetherness and diversity through delicious food.
