Organic bergamot citrus are quite the kingly fruit. They were first used back in the 16th century during King Louis XIV of France's reign to add scent to perfumes (Eau de Cologne is still heavily scented with bergamot). Their floral and exotic aromas are now used in aromatherapy, to relax the body and mind. It's also what you taste in those soothing cups of Earl Grey so these are delicious sliced into your afternoon cuppa. They also make great desserts like citrus tart and marmalade too. Bergamot now thrives in Calabria on the Ionian coast, an area that now produces 80% of all bergamot.

Storage & prep
Use the juice to flavour yoghurt or squeeze for salad dressings or vinaigrettes. Bergamots also love to be paired with fish. Try giving it a squeeze over grilled mackerel. They also happen to make an excellent marmalade. Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
