THE TRADITION OF THE
MARCHE REGION
Baking to a fine art since 1976
True to the Mediterranean Diet.
In the heart of central Italy, facing the Adriatic
Sea and nestled in the rolling green hills, Marche
is a region rich in the history
and culture of food.
In Marche, the secrets and traditions of bread
making have been handed down from generation
to generation and are still used to this day
by the region’s bakers.
2
They use the same flavour and ingredients that
characterise Marche’s regional products both
sweet and savoury, unique because they are
made with wheat flour and Italian extra
virgin olive oil, two fixtures
of Italian fine dining.
The Forno Mascia
Bakery was founded
on these values.
3
an artisan
family bakery
Since 1976 the Forno Mascia Bakery has
been perfecting the art of baking and is dedicated
to preserving the memory of the master bakers
of Marche. At the age of 25 and 23, brothers
Nicola and Luigi Mascia decided to take on
the most noble and ancient job of all time making fresh, homemade bread, which they
have done every day for the last 38 years.
They began to work in a small existing bakery
in Pesaro, where, since the post-war period,
people went to bake their home-prepared bread and cakes. They learnt how to knead flour
and water under the guidance of the old baker, eager to follow in his footsteps.
A great deal of passion, a lot of work and many
long days were spent mastering the tricks of
the trade. From dusk, the brothers would begin
to knead the dough, working throughout the
night and without the aid of machinery
and technology.
OUR PHILOSOPHY. The philosophy of
the Forno Mascia Bakery is simple: we follow traditional recipes that are in keeping
with Marche’s baking culture and we choose only the best ingredients, working in
a safe environment and ensuring that we
attend to each individual customer’s needs.
In 1977 they began to manage the business
under the name of Forno Fratelli Mascia - the
Mascia Brothers Bakery - and with a little help,
their dream of running a family-owned artisan
bakery became a reality.
Today, after 38 years, the team of pastry
chefs and bakers still have that same passion
and expertise that helped to create this family
business and they still bake their original
products: bread, cakes, biscuits, buns, pizza,
flat bread, pastries and traditional specialities.
This is the story of Forno Mascia, an artisan
family run bakery in Pesaro, proud to be part
of Le Marche and its rich food history.
