More information

Originally from Italy, bergamot is a small citrus fruit that looks like lemon, with a thick green-yellow skin.

When ripe, it weighs between 80 and 200 g at most.

As it is used relatively little in food form, it is difficult to find it in its natural state on market stalls.

On the other hand, its use in the form of essential oil is much more common: this is the main reason for its cultivation on the Calabrian coast.

Other countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Guinea and especially Ivory Coast produce Bergamot essential oil.

It is an ideal essential oil for diffusion or for doing dry or wet inhalations.
