Botanical Name: Citrus Auranthium Linnaeus subs. Bergamia
Origin: Sicily
Extraction: The essential oil is produced by cold expression of the peel of the still green fruits.
Note: We supply rectified (bergapten-free) oil due to the risk of phototoxicity in the neat Bergamot oil
Comments:
On average it takes 200 kg of the whole fruit to produce 1 kg of Bergamot oil, with its characteristic fresh, fruity sweet odour.
