BERGAMOT

Bergamot is a fragrant citrus fruit, known for its distinct tart and slightly floral flavor. It is primarily grown in the Calabria region of southern Italy. The fruit’s peel is often used to extract essential oils, which are commonly used in perfumes, aromatherapy, and as a flavoring in foods and beverages. Bergamot is most famously known for its use in Earl Grey tea, where its oil infuses the tea with its unique, aromatic essence. It’s also used in culinary dishes, desserts, and even in some liqueurs like the Italian Chinotto.
