Bergamot Zest Essential Oil

(Citrus bergamia) 

Bergamot is the fruit of the bergamot tree, a hybrid of bitter orange and lime (also called green lemon), mainly cultivated in Calabria (an Italian region).

The fruit resembles a small orange with a greenish pulp and a soft and thick bark, yellow when it reaches maturity.

Its flesh is too acid and too bitter to be eaten. But the zest is used to produce the natural extract.
