From humble beginnings in 2013, St David Dairy began with the hand-bottling of fresh farm milk on St David Street in the heart of Fitzroy.

Pasta has lost it's sauce... so where here to change that. Don’t get us wrong, we love our Grandmothers and we love pasta – but we don’t love on-shelf sauce. Much like Nan’s living room, pasta sauce hasn’t changed much since the 80’s. It’s become stale, uninspired, with the same old aesthetics, lacking any unique flavors and all wrapped up in boring plastic with stories about the old country. And that’s fine. But it’s not for us. So, we stole Nonna’s recipe and spiced it up to make modern pasta sauce with a bit of edge.
