Bergamot is a precious citrus fruit sought after all over the world. Its cultivation is strictly limited to the Reggio Calabria district only.
In this narrow strip of land on the Ionian coast of Calabria, 90% of the world production of Bergamot is grown. The cultivation is not exportable and its habitat impossible to reproduce.
It is a natural remedy with disinfectant, antiviral and antioxidant properties and is also used as an adjuvant treatment in case of cystitis and as an antidepressant.
