🥇 Why Some of Brisbane’s Best Pasta Starts at Vede Pasta
At Factory51, we take our pasta seriously. Whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a feast for a wedding of 150, our goal is always the same: food that’s bold, honest, and unforgettable. That’s why we’ve partnered with a pasta producer doing something truly unique — and incredibly delicious — right here in Brisbane.
Say hello to Vede Pasta, the only manufacturer in Australia making fresh sourdough pasta. Crafted with fermentation, frozen for freshness, and made for chefs, this Brisbane-born brand is behind some of the best pasta we’ve ever served.
👨🍳 From the Kitchen to the Coldroom: Beau’s Pasta Vision
Vede Pasta is the brainchild of Beau Vedelago, founder and operator of Factory51. After years of refining pasta in our kitchen — hand-rolling dough, testing hydration levels, chasing the perfect bite — Beau realised what we had developed could serve more than just our tables.

Most commercial pasta was made for scale, not quality. It lacked flavour, stuck in the pan, or simply didn’t hold up under pressure.
So he changed the game. He created a fermented, IQF-frozen pasta, designed to give chefs and foodservice teams the quality they expect — at the speed they need. VEDE now supplies Wholesale Sourdough Pasta in Brisbane and is the Wholesale Pasta Supplier of choice for restaurants in Brisbane, Goldcoast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Scenic Rim and northern new south wales.
Curly-edged mafaldine: a regal cut of sourdough pasta with incredible sauce-hugging texture
“Partnering with VEDE Pasta, our kitchen features handmade cuts like orecchiette and mafaldine.”
🍞 Why Sourdough Pasta? It’s a Whole New Category
Unlike traditional fresh or dried pasta, Vede Pasta is fermented using natural sourdough culture — just like artisan bread. This slow process unlocks deeper flavour, enhances digestibility, and naturally extends freshness.
Why chefs (and our guests) love it:
-
✅ Unmatched flavour – savoury, slightly nutty, and richly textured
-
✅ Gentler on the stomach – fermentation breaks down gluten and starch
-
✅ No preservatives – just clean, honest ingredients
-
✅ Egg-free – a rare and welcome option in the fresh pasta world
In short, it’s not just different — it’s better. You could call it next-generation pasta. Or just really, really good pasta.

❄️ IQF Technology: Frozen Isn’t What You Think
Each pasta cut is snap-frozen using IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology. That means:
-
Each portion stays separate — no clumping
-
Goes from freezer to plate in minutes
-
Holds sauce and texture just like freshly made
-
Has an 18-month freezer shelf life — ideal for reducing kitchen waste
At Factory51, this has changed how we prep for weddings and functions. No more batch cooking and praying. We get fresh-cooked pasta on demand, at service speed, with zero compromise.
