14 – Citrus Bergamia

Citrus Bergamia – Bergamotte

I was particularly interested in bergamot, the bitter orange. It is also known as the orange bitter. Like all citrus trees, a bergamot tree is not particularly spectacular in appearance. If you don’t prune them in a certain way, they grow wildly in all directions and then, as if in a beautiful dream, suddenly produce porcelain-white, perfume-scented flowers. When the bitter orange is strong, it produces numerous fruits, like an apple tree. Bergamot is the greatest wonder in terms of its flavor spectrum. Here, you have arrived at the center of the world of flavors and perfumes.
