Proudly Canadian, supporting Canadians 🍁 Fièrement Canadien, soutenant nos Canadiens
Our Story
We are a boutique-style business with two locations to serve you in New Brunswick: the Moncton Market and the Bouctouche Farmers' Market.
Our owner, Sarah Emmanuelle Arsenault, combined her health studies as a Naturopath with her passion for fine foods by creating The Rustic Cheese & Chocolate in 2022.
Early in her professional career, Sarah studied at L'Académie du Chocolat de Barry Callebault in Montreal, Quebec, becoming a full-time Chocolatière in early 2000s. Also a well respected Cheesemonger, Sarah has been active in both disciplines for over 18 years in the Greater Moncton Area.
Married with two daughters, one having gluten and dairy intolerances, Sarah has been perfecting her vegan and gluten free recipes for over 15 years, and now offers her homemade creations for sale at local markets.
Our Passion
At The Rustic Cheese & Chocolate, we take great pride in our craftsmanship. From the method used to temper our chocolate to the final touches on each dessert, each piece is made with love.
All our homemade products are made in small batches, paying close attention to detail ensuring every product is of the highest quality, while ensuring freshness and flavor.
We offer a range of flavors, from the classic to the exotic, all carefully crafted to provide a truly luxurious experience for your taste buds.
Our artisanal products are made with only the finest ingredients, including premium dark chocolate.
Our cheese selection is beautifully curated with a mission to promote artisanal cheeses, including local NB producers as well as imported cheeses from across Canada and Europe.
Our Mission
We want to offer the best experience and service possible to all our customers. As passionate foodies we hope to bring joy to your plate!
We are proudly Canadian and support Canadian artisans & producers by showcasing a primarily Canadian selection of products, from cheese to preserves, charcuteries as well as our home-made signature creations.
We strive to be eco-friendly in all aspects of our business. Our product packaging is made with recyclable material, where feasible. With that, we continuously look for ways to reduce and eliminate waste, while ensuring the freshness of our products.
