BERGAMOTTO DI CALABRIA

The bergamot is a hydrid between a bitter orange and a lemon.
There are three types of bergamot: femminiello, castagnaro and fantastic.

The Bergamotto Di Calabria contains the precious material called the ‘Bergamot sponge’. The extraction is still done manually. First the fruit is sliced in half and the pulp is manually removed with a special incurved knife. Then the rind is compressed on a natural sponge in a circular motion to collect the essence. The essence accumulated is the most delicate and complex and resembles a fruity and floral note of jasmine.

A return to the origins and to the traditional techniques to seize the best raw materials and enriching them with a drop of modernity, a composition that encloses the freshness of bergamot making it, after a long working process, persistent and energetic.
