In The Limelight: Aliment Pasta Co.

We recently spent a day visiting with our friends at the FOOD BUILDING to learn about what they do and the importance of local food production. We left feeling enlightened, inspired, and motivated. Read on to discover a little bit about the (food) magic happening right here in Northeast.

As a teen, Alex Dayton of Aliment Pasta Co moved to Florida, got a job in a restaurant, and his life changed forever. Once he discovered the world of restaurants and food, he found his passion, and has been using this passion in the business he founded, Aliment Pasta Co since. Through various positions in restaurants far and near, Dayton discovered the magic of fresh pasta, and took off running. When asked about his favorite part of what he does, Dayton smiled and shared “I just love eating pasta!”. One other large motivators in Dayton’s life both in and out of Aliment is his family. When starting Aliment, he wanted to be able to have a healthy balance between his work and his family, while still doing what he loves. Dayton also shared that one of the reasons he fell in love with cooking, and fresh pasta making specifically, was the combination of creativity and science that he gets to interact with daily. All of Aliment’s pasta is made with fellow FOOD BUILDING makers, Baker’s Field’s, flour, and Aliment also collaborates with Alemar Cheese Company to create the age old and delicious combination: pasta and cheese.

Aliment offers wholesale pasta ordering as well as meal-kits that customers can pick up in Northeast.  Eastside is proud to offer three varieties of Aliment pasta in our store: Roasted Butternut Squash and Brown Butter Ravioli, Ricotta & Parmesan Ravioli, and Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli.
