🏆Back-to-back Champion pasta🏆

We are incredibly proud to share that our Gigli has been named Champion Dried Pasta at the 2026 @ras_nsw Sydney Royal Fine Food Show, taking out the title two years in a row!

This is a remarkable achievement for our small team. Consistency is something we strive for every day, and to be recognised as Champion for the second consecutive year is a wonderful reflection of the care we put into every batch we make.

It was such a great night celebrating the achievements of some of Australia’s best food producers, and we’re thrilled to be among them.

A huge thank you to the judges, the @ras_nsw team and everyone who continues to support Duro. 🇦🇺🍝 by @duropasta

We’ve entered the @ras_nsw Sydney Royal Fine Food Show every year since 2023, not to add medals to our packaging, but because putting our pasta in front of experienced, independent judges gives us an honest measure of where we are.

This was our largest entry yet, with seven medals from eight pastas:

🥇 Gold — Fusilli and Gigli
🥈 Silver — Fusilloni, Lumache and Casarecce
🥉 Bronze — Penne and Rigatoni

It’s a good opportunity for our team to see how far we’ve come and where we can still improve.

Reflecting on an amazing week supporting our Victorian distributor @the_fine_food_merchant on their freshly branded stand at the 2026 @finefoodexpo in #melbourne

The team represents a curated selection of artisanal Australian brands, who we had the pleasure of standing alongside, getting to know and forging some great new relationships with. It was an awesome three days and a great reminder that Duro is in very good company, and very good hands, in Victoria.

Great to be there with @luciasfinefoods @kangarooisland_olives @urbanforagerorganics @sipcoco_ @fuzzybumhoney @silverhillsfoodco taken in Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) by @duropasta

Melbourne showed up for pasta today. 🍝

We spent the day at @lamannamelbourne sharing tastings of our Gigli with vodka, tomato & basil sauce — over 300 samples served!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat and a taste. Great to see such strong support for Australian-made pasta. taken in LaManna Direct by @duropasta

Not all pasta needs a passport.

Duro Pasta is made in NSW from Australian-grown wheat, which means fewer food miles before it even reaches the plate.

We’ve worked with Duro on packaging photography and recipe content, which is really just a professional way of saying: we spent a lot of time making very good pasta look like very good pasta.

Local wheat. Local production. Dinner behaving beautifully.

🏆Champion Dried Pasta 2025 🏆

On Thursday night we were awarded Champion of Show for our Gigli pasta at the @ras_nsw Royal Fine Food Awards. This is the highest honour you can receive recognising the most exceptional products with the top scores in their category. I’m still pinching myself as it was truly unexpected given we are still an infant in our pasta journey and the talent in the room was incredibly humbling. We will keep striving to improve to produce Australias best dried pasta but for now it’s nice to reflect on what we have achieved in a relatively short time with a small but dedicated team.
Thank you to all the judges and stewards @ras_nsw and congratulations to all the Champion exhibitors.
Keep supporting Australian producers 🇦🇺

“I congratulate all of our winners on their success and encourage consumers to explore the results and give them a try – there are some world-class products on the market right now, and many are readily available.” said Sydney Royal Fine Food Chair, Michael Bullen. by @duropasta

Meet The Makers – Sea + Soil: A South Coast Culinary Journey
The South Coast Meet the Makers Festival returns every weekend throughout September. Join us at Bannister's Mollymook for a delicious lunch celebrating local seafood and artisanal craft, as Rick Stein Executive Chef Chris Turton teams up with Jesse Hegg from Duro Pasta. Together, Chris and Jesse will showcase the harmony between fresh produce and beautifully made pasta all from the South Coast.
Rick Stein’s food philosophy is renowned fresh seafood, simply cooked. It’s this ethos that brought him to Mollymook — drawn by the abundance of beautiful seafood from nearby Ulladulla, one of the South Coast’s busiest fishing ports. In the same spirit of simplicity and quality, Duro Pasta crafts small-batch, artisanal pasta using 100% Australian durum wheat, bronze-extruded for perfect texture, each piece of Duro Pasta tells a story of traceable ingredients, tradition, and outstanding flavour — the perfect pairing for a memorable meal.

$95 per person includes a glass of bubbles on arrival and a two-course lunch of main and dessert plus a masterclass presentation with Chris Turton and Jesse Hegg.

L U M A C H E 🐌

Pronounced "Loo-mar-keh" meaning "snails" in Italian, this shape gets its name from the obvious similarities to a snail shell. Slightly crimped at one end with a wider opening at the other, this strong curled pasta is a master at capturing and carrying sauce. Also known as Pipe (pronounced Pip-peh) it's like a hybrid of a macaroni and a conchiglie shell and just as versatile or interchangeable. Perfect for adding to soups and ragu's, pasta bakes or salads.
