Pop Up Thursday 16th at Sweet Bar Bakery

The Sweet Bar Bakery will launch its first Thirsty Thursday with a Mac’n’Cheese dinner made with our pasta on May 16, 7-9 PM.

$14 for our famous mac’n’cheese, plus house salad and a special roasted fruit and mascarpone napoleon: the deal of the year!

The Sweet Bar Bakery team will work on a vegan option with our spelt macs.

A la carte sides include Belcampo merguez sausage, beer, wine and other desserts!

A wide selection of Baia Pasta will be available during the event.
Renato will be attending the event and will give you all the information you need about Baia Pasta plus tips on the best sauces to cook our different shapes of noodles with.

If you want to attend, send your RSVP to cupcake@sweetbakery.com

We’re featured on this month’s 7x7 

Many, many thanks to Amy, Schuyler, Annie and the 7x7 team for the write up.

They have taken a snapshot of the pasta A-team in SF at the moment and included Bob Kline’s Community Grains and John&Anna’s Mattarello, popping up increasingly more often in the city with their Bologna-inspired creation (tortellini anyone?).

Makes us proud and happy that we all are on the same page, with a different focus, all making the same statement: grains are awesome.

Regardless of the shape or the flavor you want to bring home, we have done the best we could to bring you the best artisanal edge on pasta.

Thank you for loving us <3

New flavors from Baia

In the past month we have toyed with several new flavors in different formats. You can find now two of the best new creative pasta in our store in Jack London Square or on Sunday at the Temescal-Oakland and Cal-Ave Palo Alto farmers markets.

The “Bollywood” Sardinians are enriched with curry and lemon zest powder. They are perfect with braised greens (kale, chard and spinach) and lamb ragu.

The other cut we really liked are the Jalapeño Pac-Macs. We like them with a simple tomato sauce in Italian soffritto.

Come these days to try these new specialties!

The Shed at Healdsburg is now open

It is in our opinion one of the most beautiful food store with bar and restaurant opened in the region in years. We are proud to announce that the  Shed in Healdsburg is featuring a great range of our pasta. Among several types of our semolina pasta  it is also the first retailer to have in stock our Kamut™ pasta. 

Whenever you are around Sonoma County we recommend you strongly to visit the store.

Baia Pasta takes a break for Easter weekend

Hi y’all! Just a quick note that Sunday March 31st our store in Jack London Square will be closed for the day. 

Plans for the day: eating with friends and enjoying a proper Colomba for Pasqua. ^_^

(just in case you want a Colomba, ping Brian at Starter Bakery)

Baia Pasta at Whole Foods

You can now find your favorite Baia Pasta at two Whole Foods stores (Cupertino and Oakland).

We hope to increase distribution to other stores when we’ll ramp up production to 5 days/week in May. At that time we’ll have a fully operating packaging machine that will speed up bagging and allow for a smoother production rate. More quantity without compromising quality, that’s our goal and promise.

Pretty in pink

It’s finally here! Our new pink box for Kamut®…
An ancient grain type, it is also named Khorasan wheat. This grain is twice the sized of modern-day wheat and is known for its rich nutty flavor.
Kamut “…is very high in protein content. It also contains a high mineral concentration especially in selenium, zinc, and magnesium. This grain variety is considered a high energy wheat, and provides the body with more energy in the form of complex carbohydrates. Because of its low oxidation levels it loses little nutritional content when being ground and processed. Even though this wheat variety contains gluten, it has been found to be more easily digestible by people who may have slight allergic tendencies.”

KAMUT® khorasan is a trademarked grain that has to:

1. Be the ancient khorasan variety of wheat
2. Be grown only as a certified organic grain
3. Have a protein range of 12 – 18%
4. Be 99% free of contaminating varieties of modern wheat
5. Be 98% free of all signs of disease
6. Contain between 400 and 1000 ppb of selenium
7. Not be used in products in which the name is deceptive or misleading as to the content percentage
8. Not be mixed with modern wheat in pasta

Long story short…probably the healthiest grain we have on the shelf.
