Tinderbox Bergamot Essential Oil

Citrus Bergamia

Bergamot was first cultivated in its namesake, Italian town Bergamo, but the plant is native to South East Asia. This delicate citrus tree yields a fresh and uplifting essential oil that is widely used in perfumery. The near-ripe inedible fruit is cold-pressed for essential oil extraction.
