Description
Calabria, Italy, is renowned for producing the finest quality Bergamot Essential Oil, highly regarded in the global trading market. Bergamot, a citrus fruit recognized for its aromatic essential oil contained within oil-bearing pockets in the peel of the pericarp, is obtained through the process of expression, without the use of heat, from the fresh peel of the Citrus bergamia fruit. Citrus bergamia belongs to the Rutaceae family, commonly known as Citrus.
The Citrus bergamia tree, also known as the Bergamot Tree, produces small, round fruit with a pear-shaped form and a yellow color. It resembles a miniature orange and is highly prized in the perfumery industry for its captivating fragrance. Unlike other citrus fruits, it is exclusively grown for its essential oil due to its sour, bitter pulp.
The evergreen Bergamot Tree, scientifically known as Citrus bergamia, was traditionally propagated through seed planting or cuttings. During winter, the tree adorns itself with delicate, fragrant, star-shaped white flowers, while summer brings forth yellow pear-shaped fruits that bear resemblance to a cross between a Sweet Lime/Lemon and an Orange. These fruits find extensive use in culinary and perfumery applications.
