Often forgotten, bergamot is a delicious alternative to lemon. It comes from a cross between lime and bitter orange. There are four main varieties: Fantastico, Castagnaro, Calabrese, and Femminello, names filled with the sun of Italy, where the bergamot tree is cultivated in Calabria. This region accounts for 85 to 95% of global production, with the remainder coming from Côte d’Ivoire, Morocco, and Portugal.
You can distinguish bergamot from lemon by its two ends: one round, the other pointed and slightly hollowed. Its thick peel, used in cosmetics and herbal medicine, is more orange-toned than lemon’s. It’s tart, but the flesh is soft and delicate. Bergamot has everything to be both captivating and original!
