Alpine cheeses, wines, gin and a mountain pantry: Ferdy Wild Boxes bring Val Brembana under the tree.
Ferdy Wild Christmas Box: giving the mountains, the real ones
December arrives with rushing hands and snow on the roofs. Then there’s a gift that stops everything: a box opened on a table that smells of hay, spruce and alpine cheese. The Ferdy Wild Boxes were made for this, to bring Val Brembana to the homes of the people you love.

The right weight of a gift
The gift that stops time: why we choose the mountains at Christmas
There’s a moment in December when we’re all running. Bright shop windows, identical parcels, lists to tick off. Then we stop in front of a simple question: what does giving really mean? Not filling a box. Bringing someone a piece of the world we believe in.
In the mountains, Christmas has always had a precise flavour. Not one of abundance, but of having enough: the table laid even when there was nothing, an extra place for whoever knocked, cheese cut into thin shavings, polenta in the copper pot. That’s the story our Tavola Granda tells: times when there was nothing, yet tables were always set to welcome a relative or a neighbour.
Giving a mountain product means giving this. Time, care, a gesture in no hurry. And it means choosing something with a name, a meadow and hard work behind it.
From pasture to box: raw materials first
For us, quality isn’t an adjective. It’s a chain of hands you can read on the label.
It starts with ancient breeds. For over thirty years we’ve raised Bruna Alpina Originale cows and Capra Orobica goats, once queens of the Alps and now endangered, able to live on rugged land and for that reason overlooked by intensive farming. From them comes Formai del Ferdy Hay, a semi-cooked hard cheese from hay-fed cows. From Val d’Inferno, in Ornica, comes Formai de Mut dell’Alta Val Brembana DOP. And from Capra Orobica milk, combined with plant extracts, come our cosmetics lines Orobic Milk Beauty and Hell’s Valley Essence.
Then there’s hay, which ends up where you’d least expect it: in our chocolate with caramelised hay, scythe-cut by Ferdy and crafted by an artisan, and in Eremyth Liquore.
Then the plants the pasture no longer wants. The red spruce essence in our Peghéra tonics and the buds in our syrup come from invasive trees that spread at the expense of the pastures: drinking them helps protect those pastures. The dandelion flower syrup is made from Val d’Inferno flowers, while the angelica root powder and the wild herb infusion are picked by hand.
Then the pantry, which you can read in two lines of ingredients. The extra apple jam is 70% apples plus sugar. The blueberry one is 65% hand-picked blueberries. The wild garlic sauce comes from garlic gathered in the meadows. The taragna flour is made from three ancient corn varieties, Spinato di Gandino, Rostrato rosso di Cerete and Nostrano dell’isola, stone-ground.
What we don’t produce ourselves comes from local artisans who share our philosophy, supporting families who choose not to leave these valleys. A gift like this is also an act of resistance, small and concrete.

The luxury of knowing where it comes from
Choosing a Ferdy Wild Box means understanding that at Christmas, luxury is knowing where what you bring to the table comes from. That a gift can take a stand: for the pastures, for ancient breeds, for the families who stay up in the mountains. Authenticity isn’t a souvenir. It’s a gesture repeated every day, from meadow to box.
