Bergamot essential oil is a popular and versatile essential oil derived from the peels of the bergamot fruit (Citrus bergamia), a citrus fruit that resembles a small, round, greenish-yellow orange. The fruit is primarily grown in Italy, and the oil extraction process involves cold pressing the rind to obtain the aromatic essence.
The oil has a fresh, sweet, and citrusy fragrance with subtle floral undertones, making it highly prized in the perfume and fragrance industry. Bergamot essential oil is not only cherished for its pleasant aroma but also renowned for its numerous therapeutic properties, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy and natural health practices.
