Origin: Italy

Processing Method: Cold Pressed

Main Constituents:

Limonene: 40.47%

Linalyl acetate: 26.79%

Color & Consistency: A thin, light yellowish to green liquid. The aroma is basically citrus, yet fruity and sweet with a warm spicy floral quality, and is reminiscent of Neroli, giving a middle note of medium strength. The Bergamot fruit ripens from green to yellow. The name Bergamot is derived from the city Bergamo in Lombardy where the oil was first sold. In this variety, the bergaptene content which causes photosensitivity has been removed. This allows the Bergamot to be used in skin and hair care formulations without concern for phototoxicity after exposure to the sun.
