Bergamot, Organic

Bergamot essential oil is a rare and precious treasure, celebrated for its exceptional versatility and unique citrus aroma. Grown primarily in southern Italy, particularly in regions like Reggio Calabria and Sicily, as well as the Ivory Coast, this remarkable fruit showcases slight variations in color – with the Italian variety displaying a vibrant greenish hue, while the Ivory Coast version leans more toward a golden yellow. Renowned for its value in the perfume and flavor industries, bergamot oil’s use in cosmetics is reserved for professionals, due to its photosensitivity. The bergamot market remains highly specialized, with its production requiring careful planning and attention to detail to meet exacting industry standards, ensuring a product of unmatched quality and allure.
