FERRAGOSTO - August 2025 curdbox

WELCOME TO THE FERRAGOSTO CURDBOX 

Each year on August 15th, Ferragosto marks a cherished pause in the Italian calendar as an enduring summer holiday that vibrantly reflects tradition, leisure, and regional pride. Over the centuries, Ferragosto has become the heart of the Italian summer, celebrated with family gatherings, festive escapes to the coast or countryside, and a joyful break from work and routine. This celebration is inseparable from the foods that bring people together—with Italian cheeses often taking center stage. From the bold, aged wheels of the north to the creamy, sun-kissed varieties of the south, these cheeses are more than just accompaniments—they are cultural symbols, shaped by landscape, season, and heritage. Whether enjoyed in the cool shade of the mountains or along the sparkling coastline, they embody the essence of Ferragosto: a pause to savor the spirit of la dolce vita.
