Read on and know the origin and health benefits of bergamot oil.
The oil is extracted from the rind of bergamot orange or Citrus bergamia, a citrus fruit that is pear-shaped and a crossbreed between bitter orange and lemon. Its colour ranges from green to yellow which depends on the ripeness of the fruit.
Bergamot is a tropical fruit that was native to Southeast Asia, but it was first grown and was originally sold in the city of Bergamo in northern Italy.
Its oil is also added to black tea to create one of the most favourite tea of all time which is the Earl Grey tea, giving it a unique taste, as well as surprising health benefits.
Bergamot oil is highly phototoxic because the fruit’s rind was cold pressed, the method used for extraction wherein hydraulic press releases the oil from the fruit. A hundred of bergamot oranges will only produce about 3 ounces (85 grams) of oil.
