Monti Azzurri Tipicità is a family-run agri-food business based in Muccia, in the inland area of Macerata, inspired by a deep love for the mountainous region of the Marche. It was founded around 2013 by Fabio Capitani, drawing on a long family tradition of norcineriathe ancient art of pork processing. From the very beginning, the company has aimed to promote local products and traditional knowledge: “Since 2013, we have been producing typical Marche cured meats, following an ancient tradition passed down from generation to generation,”says the founder. The name “Monti Azzurri” poetically refers to the Sibillini Mountains—known in the Marche as the “blue mountains”—and reflects the company’s deep connection with its geographic and cultural setting. Its headquarters are located in a strategic spot, at the Maddalena di Muccia crossroads, where the SS77 Val di Chienti meets the road to the Val Nerina—an ideal transit point between the Marche and Umbria, perfect for offering travelers local culinary specialties. The business began as a small retail point, originally part of a local cooperative of Sibillini Mountains producers, transforming a family passion into a deeply rooted community enterprise. A cozy adjoining dining area welcomes visitors to enjoy freshly prepared sandwiches made with grilled pork chops, house-made sausages, a variety of cured meats, porchetta, vegetables, sauces, and even vegetarian options—all celebrating the authentic flavors of the Sibillini region.
