Bergamot, the King of Citrus.

Bergamot, the King of Citrus.

Bergamot is a citrus fruit—likely a hybrid of lime and orange. The shape of a bergamot fruit is similar to that of a pear. The tree is small and blossoms in the winter. The oil is most often obtained by cold pressing the peel. The oil is almost exclusively obtained from Italy—more specifically, the Ionian Sea costal area. It should be noted that, Bergamot is photo toxic. Therefore, care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight when using Bergamot topically.
