Bergamot

Bergamot, also known by its scientific name Citrus bergamia, is a highly aromatic fruit native to southern Italy that has been used in medicine and culinary traditions for centuries. It’s theorized to be a cross between Sour Orange and Lemon and is prized for its unique flavor and fragrance, which is a combination of citrusy, floral, and spicy notes. Its native home of Italy is a warm, sunny place that’s perfect for growing citruses like Bergamot, so much so that the production of Bergamot has become an essential part of Italian culture, with many local businesses selling bergamot products, including oils, teas, and skincare items.

Cultivation

Bergamot is a beautiful perennial bush that reaches heights of up to 5 feet or more. Its distinct, pale purple blooms are pleasing to the eye and a favorite of many pollinators, especially hummingbirds. This plant is incredibly versatile and has the ability to thrive in a wide range of soil types. However, for optimal growth, it prefers rich, loamy, and highly fertile soil.

Nestled in the heart of Italy, Citrusmade Farm has quickly made a name for itself by perfecting the cultivation of this delightful citrus fruit. Known for its ideal soil and climate, they have been able to cultivate Bergamots and produce premium Bergamot Essential Oil through a meticulous and conventional process—resulting in a highly sought-after essential oil. Using organic farming and no synthetic pesticides ensures that the product is of the highest quality and purity.

Extraction

Bergamot oil is obtained through the process of cold-pressing. This method involves “rasping” the rinds in order to release the essential oil from the peel of the Bergamot before it is cold pressed. The resulting oil can be greenish or brownish-yellow in color, with a slightly bitter, aromatic taste.

In addition, Bergamot Essential Oil has anti-bacterial, fungi-, and virus-resistant properties, which makes it effective in reducing pain and preventing infections. One of its most remarkable historical uses was to reduce intestinal worms, a common source of anemia and malnutrition. But that's not all! Bergamot essential oil can also help treat respiratory problems and spasmodic reactions.
