Some notions of botany

The bergamot tree is close to the bitter orange tree (bitter orange), but its exact origins are uncertain. It would come either from the cross between a bitter orange tree and a lime tree (lime), or between a bitter orange tree and a lemon tree. Bergamot is a small citrus fruit that resembles a lemon with a thick, yellow-green skin, and weighs between 80 and 200 grams. Its flesh is slightly acidic and bitter and its zest diffuses a very characteristic powerful scent.

Since the 18th century, the bergamot tree has been mainly cultivated in a province of Italy which extends from Reggio Calabria on the Strait of Messina to the Ionian Sea. Little used in food form, bergamot is quite difficult to find on the markets.

A little history…

Some claim that the bergamot tree came from the Orient and was introduced to Europe by the Crusaders. Its name would then come from the Turkish Bey armade (pear of the lord), because of its particular shape. Others think that it was brought from the Canary Islands by Christopher Columbus, and that its name comes from the town of Berga, north of Barcelona.

Fresh and very floral, bergamot is one of the most used products in perfumery, particularly in eau de Cologne. It is still found, among others, in the composition of Guerlain's Eau de Cologne Impériale, created for Empress Eugénie.
