Meta Description
Looking for wholesale fresh pasta in the Northern Rivers? Vede Pasta is handmade in Brisbane, sourdough-fermented, and delivered frozen smart via MOCO — just $1.39 per serve, with a 200g cooked yield.
When Your Region Is Known for Good Food, You Can’t Serve Average Pasta
There’s something special about the Northern Rivers.
It’s in the salty air of Byron Bay. It’s in the lush soil of Mullumbimby farms. It’s in the bustling Ballina fish co-ops, the country kitchen gardens in Clunes, and the slow, thoughtful menus at places like Harvest Newrybar or Frida’s Field.
Here, food isn’t just fuel — it’s a story, a philosophy, and a connection to land and people. That’s why more and more chefs are asking the same question: if we go to great lengths to source ethical meat and seasonal veg, why should pasta be an afterthought?
For those who can’t make it in-house every day, there’s Vede Pasta.
Meet Vede Pasta — Handmade in Brisbane, Loved in the Northern Rivers
Vede Pasta is artisan pasta made for chefs, not supermarkets. It’s handcrafted in Brisbane using Australian semolina, long-fermented using sourdough cultures, and snap-frozen using IQF technology so you can use it exactly when you need it — no clumping, no soggy strands, and no fuss.
Each 135g portion costs just $1.39 and gives a full 200g cooked yield — enough for a main dish that holds its own on the plate and keeps your food costs in check.
What Makes Vede Pasta Different?
Let’s be honest — Google “fresh pasta Northern Rivers wholesale” and you’ll get plenty of links. However, here’s what you won’t get from most suppliers:
🌾 1. Sourdough Durum Wheat Dough
It’s not just sourdough bread that benefits from fermentation. By fermenting a portion of the dough using wild cultures, Vede develops natural flavour, airiness, and digestibility that dry or factory-fresh pasta can’t match.
This is pasta that works with your menu — not against it.
👐 2. Handcrafted Texture
Vede uses silicone “fingers” to gently knead and shape the pasta dough — mimicking the soft, low-pressure techniques of traditional Italian kitchens. There are no high-pressure metal extruders or clumpy tubes.
Just clean, tender texture that holds up under sauce or sings on its own.
❄️ 3. Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) — Frozen Smart, Not Fast
Pasta is frozen immediately after shaping, locking in freshness. That means:
- Long shelf life (up to 18 months)
- No clumping — strands stay separate
- No preservatives
- Defrost only what you need
It’s ideal for pop-up kitchens, weekend weddings, and chefs who can’t afford to waste a tray.
Where You’ll Find This Pasta in the Wild

A Perfect Fit for the Northern Rivers Philosophy
Northern Rivers venues do food differently. There’s a deep commitment here to seasonal produce, regenerative farming, fermentation, and natural winemaking. Done right, pasta fits perfectly into that ecosystem.
We’ve seen it first-hand:
- Frida’s Field serves banquet feasts that celebrate local harvest
- Pipit Restaurant in Pottsville crafts elegant dishes around native seafood and subtle ferments
- The Hut Byron Bay focuses on Mediterranean flavours with Byron hinterland produce
- Three Blue Ducks at The Farm values ingredients that tell a story
- Local pubs like The Eltham Hotel and Lennox Hotel are lifting the game with produce-driven menus
