€8-€40Bergamot Essence from Reggio Calabria
Bergamot essence is an essential oil extracted from the peel of bergamot (Citrus bergamia), a citrus fruit grown almost exclusively along the coastal strip of the province of Reggio Calabria. It appears as a clear liquid with an intense and complex fragrance, featuring fresh, citrusy and slightly floral notes. Extraction takes place through mechanical processes that preserve the fruit’s natural aromatic properties. The concentration of the essence allows it to be used in very small amounts while maintaining stability and intensity over time. It is stored in small bottles, often made of dark glass, to protect its aromatic qualities.
