The Bergamot looks like an orange, but also like a large lemon, and is called "the pear of the Lord" because it resembles a bergamot pear as well. It is a citrus fruit that grows only along the coast of Reggio Calabria, and its particular characteristics, closely linked to the territory, make it a true typical Calabrian product.
The Bergamot fruit turns yellow only when it reaches maturity; otherwise, it appears dark green. Its peel is rich in "otricoli," which are cavities filled with essential oil, among other things very rich in nutritional properties.
Our Calabrian Bergamot is harvested in Brancaleone by the Azienda Agricola Patea and distributed by Sa.Ma. Frutta.
The Bergamot contains two natural active principles that act as a natural statin by lowering triglyceride, blood sugar, and bad cholesterol levels without causing any side effects. Besides helping those suffering from cardiovascular disorders, the Bergamot also represents an excellent support for those with bone disorders since it contains high amounts of vitamin C, B1, B2, A, and E. Finally, it also exerts a pronounced antioxidant action on the body.
The Bergamot from Brancaleone (which we present on this page in a quantity of 3kg) is a very special and hard-to-find citrus fruit, but its uses are varied and extend beyond the kitchen.
Its juice is delicious, but very acidic and bitter: that's why it is advisable to drink it diluted with some water. Its flavor is perfect for certain types of cocktails.
Its peel has various applications in the kitchen, both as a garnish for dishes and as an ingredient, for example in some risottos or cakes.
Its essence is widely used to create Bergamot perfumes and is also used to flavor sweets, candies, and liquors.
You should also try it as the main ingredient for Bergamot jam or to prepare the iconic Bergamot slush!
