Bergamot oil

Bergamot oil is pressed from the peel of the bergamot orange, a small fragrant citrus grown mainly along the coast of Calabria in southern Italy. It has a bright, floral, slightly bitter citrus aroma that is more perfumed than lemon or orange. Bergamot oil is famous as the signature scent of Earl Grey and Lady Grey, and it also flavors green tea, rooibos and some herbal blends. Earl Grey is delicious with milk, or try it as a London Fog with steamed milk and vanilla.
