We supply wholesale fresh pasta across Brisbane and the Northern Rivers, with our sourdough-infused long pasta setting a new flavour and performance benchmark for chefs. Every pasta shape is made from 100% Australian durum semolina, frozen fresh to hold its quality, and delivered on a schedule that suits your kitchen — not the other way around.
In Brisbane, the restaurant scene moves quickly, with competition fierce and little room for error. Meanwhile, in the Northern Rivers, the focus is on quality produce and letting local ingredients shine. By serving VEDE Pasta, chefs in both areas can plate dishes that stand out for the right reasons.
The Local Edge: Brisbane Kitchens
If you’ve cooked in Brisbane’s CBD or inner suburbs, you know service can change in an instant. A quiet lunch can turn into a full dining room the moment the sun appears or an office books late. Because of that unpredictability, short shelf-life fresh pasta often causes headaches. It forces production around narrow usage windows of three to five days and increases the risk of waste.
However, VEDE’s frozen fresh pasta gives you control. It stays perfect in your freezer for up to 18 months and is ready in minutes when you need it:
- Nest portions: Cook in 2–3 minutes.
- Stretched pasta range: Cook in 2–5 minutes.
As a result, you can offer squid ink linguini with Moreton Bay bugs in New Farm or pappardelle with braised lamb shoulder in West End without worrying about spoilage.
The Local Edge: Northern Rivers Venues
The Northern Rivers dining scene thrives on a “produce first” philosophy. Picture Byron Bay’s beachside bistros, Bangalow’s boutique restaurants, or Mullumbimby’s creative cafés — all united by a commitment to great ingredients. In this region, pasta must enhance the plate, not just fill it.
That’s where our range works beautifully. The sourdough infusion in our long pasta cuts adds gentle complexity that enhances the flavour of local produce. In addition, our hand-stretched short shapes offer a rustic texture that holds sauce exceptionally well.
Imagine fogliette de ulivo with Yamba prawns and zucchini flowers. Or strozzaprete with Byron hinterland free-range pork ragù. Each dish feels complete because the pasta matches the quality of the other ingredients.
100% Semolina Long Extruded Pasta with Sourdough Infusion
We craft our long pasta range from 100% premium Australian durum semolina using a special sourdough infusion method developed by VEDE founder Beau Vedelago. It’s not sourdough bread in pasta form — rather, it’s a carefully managed, natural fermentation process that brings subtle depth to the flavour while keeping the pasta’s signature texture.
This process delivers:
- Richer flavour: A clean, nutty base with a touch of tang.
- Stable colour: Golden hue that stays vibrant under pass lights.
- Inviting aroma: Warm, wheaty scent that enhances the dining experience.
Available in:
- Spaghetti
- Linguini
- Squid Ink Linguini
- Mafaldine
- Pappardelle
- Fettuccini
Each cut comes in 135g nest portions, cooking from frozen in 2–3 minutes for consistent speed and quality.
Our Traditional Stretched Pasta Range
When it comes to short shapes, we go traditional. Our stretched pasta range is hand-stretched at scale, which is rare in wholesale supply. Because of this technique, each piece has a textured surface that holds sauce beautifully.
Available in:
- Orecchiette
- Cavatello
- Fogliette de Ulivo
- Strascinate Nero
- Strozzaprete
These cook from frozen in 2–5 minutes and keep their texture whether served immediately or held briefly for plating.
Why Chefs in Brisbane & Northern Rivers Choose VEDE
Chefs choose VEDE Pasta for three main reasons:
- Control – Frozen fresh means no more throwing out unused pasta after a few days.
- Consistency – Every portion behaves exactly the same, service after service.
- Quality – Authentic semolina bite, sourdough depth in long cuts, rustic sauce grip in short cuts.
In addition, they value the ability to scale up for 100+ covers or down for quieter nights without compromising quality.
Competitor Reality (Without the Naming and Shaming)
Most wholesale fresh pasta suppliers in Australia deliver within 24–48 hours of production, with a 3–5 day shelf life. That can work if your turnover is predictable, but it becomes risky when bookings shift unexpectedly.
Dried pasta solves the storage problem but increases cook times (10–16 minutes for stretched cuts) and loses the tender bite and sauce grip that diners notice.
VEDE Pasta offers the best of both:
- Shelf life: 18 months frozen.
- Cook time: 2–3 mins for nests, 2–5 mins for stretched cuts.
- Texture: Fresh-made quality every time.
- Waste: Minimal, thanks to portion control.
Supply & Delivery
In Brisbane, VEDE Pasta is delivered weekly via MOCO Food Services, ensuring a consistent supply chain and frozen chain integrity.
For the Northern Rivers, we arrange direct freight to maintain quality from our kitchen to yours.

You might start with the Accademia Italiana della Cucina – The Art of Pasta, which looks at the traditions behind Italy’s most famous export. Another excellent resource is Pasta Traditions in Southern Italy, which offers insight into regional shapes, sauces, and stories.
