Bergamot is small citrus tree native to South East Asia. Its name comes from the small town of Bergamo in Italy where the essential oil was first sold. Bergamot is a close relative of the Bitter Orange tree, and produces a small fruit that turns yellow in colour when ripe. Unlike other citruses the fruit is inedible as it is so sour! The essential oil is produced from the peel of the nearly-ripe fruit, with main countries of production being Italy, Corsica and Morocco.
