Pasta
"Hi there, we have discovered your fantastic pasta varieties at our local supermarket in Castlemaine Victoria. Just wanted to congratulate you on such high quality and well presented products. We try to buy Australian products as much as possible but have often found Australian pasta to be a bit ordinary - your products have changed all that! It is really pleasing to see an Australian food manufacturing company that is proving that it can succeed at making great products with innovation and originality. Keep up the good work!"

"I first bought some of your pasta in a butcher near my home. Today I visited another butcher and found the kanga and koala shapes. Brilliant products! I am sending them as little gifts to my 2 nephews. Your pasta really is different - I bought if first because of the fact that it was grown in Australia by a small comapany, and it was a beautiful package and a good price. It turned out to taste just as good as it looked! It's the first dried pasta that's actually tasted different from just ordinary supermarkets brands, and that includes all the fancy Italian ones they sell in delis. Congratulations on a fabulous product, and I was thrilled to see the write-up in the SMH. Good luck! Your products deserve all the success they've obviously enjoyed so far."

"I want to complement you on your range of Yatta pasta. I came across it randomly, and I can truly say its awesome! The flavour and texture are great. I won't be going back to the standard brands in the supermarkets."

"Hi there, I have been enjoying your pasta through Aussie Farmers Direct and I have to wonder why you are Aussies best kept dried pasta secret! Seriously, I don't think I have had another pasta as delicious as yours that hasn't been fresh pasta. SO nice and I thought I should let you know! Cheers and THANKS"

"Well you can imagine my delight at finding a pasta with no traces of egg or dairy. And in kiddy shapes...Oh can I suggest you try doing a little advert in the anaphylaxis Australia newsletter – parents will be rejoicing Australia wide..."

Durum Semolina
"Yarra Valley Pasta owes much of our Triple Gold Winning success at this year’s Sydney Fine Food Show to the quality and consistency of durum wheat semolina that we source directly from our suppliers at Bellata Gold in Tamworth in northern New South Wales. We have maintained a wonderful working relationship with Doug Cush and his family for over five years. Like our Family business, we feel confident knowing that all aspects of the durum wheat growing process can be traced from the day the seeds are planted right through to when the grain is milled and then packaged up for us to be sent directly to our factory here in Melbourne."

"I just wanted to let you you know that we just received the results catalogue from the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show which contains the judges comments and detailed scoring on all of our entries.The reason im letting you know is that the judges have commented on the outstanding quality of 100% Durum Semolina used in the competition. Although there is a lot more to these competitions than the average person could comprehend it is equally as important to use ingredients of the highest quality combined with the knowledge of correct cooking techniques to bring out the best of these ingredients.
While we are a fairly small business,consistency is very important to us and on the topic of Durum Semolina your product is of the highest quality i have seen in the industry and having used other suppliers before,your product is so much cleaner,brighter and more fragrant than any Durum we have used. Since using your product we have piece of mind that we are getting the best product which is consistent in quality and it trumps any competition by a mile!!!" Kind regards,
