Some botanical notions

The bergamot tree is closely related to the bitter orange (bigaradier), but its exact origins are uncertain. It is believed to be the result of a cross between a bigaradier and a lime tree (lime), or between a bigaradier and a lemon tree. Bergamot is a small citrus fruit that resembles a lemon with a thick, greenish-yellow skin and weighs between 80 and 200 grams. Its flesh is slightly acidic and bitter, and its zest diffuses a very characteristic powerful fragrance.

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

A little history…

Some claim that the bergamot tree originated in the East and was introduced to Europe by the Crusaders. Its name would then come from the Turkish Bey armadé (lord's pear), due to its particular shape. Others believe it was brought back from the Canary Islands by Christopher Columbus, and that its name comes from the city of Berga, north of Barcelona.

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