Bergamot gets its name from Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy, where the oil was commonly used in traditional folk medicine to treat fevers. Today, bergamot is mainly grown in Calabria, Italy, where the fresh, ripe peel or rind of the bergamot orange is cold pressed to extract its sweet, citrusy essence. The key flavoring in Earl Grey tea, bergamot has also been used as a fragrance since 1714. It is a component of the majority of perfumes and Eau de Colognes on the market today, and can be used as a natural deodorant. The scent is emotionally pleasing as well, and is helpful in aromatherapy applications to help relieve stress, heighten mood and aid in treating depression.
