It is a small tree with oval leaves and the bergamot fruit that is mostly green yellow somewhat pear-shaped. The tree is usually pruned to a height of 4 - 5 meters and grown in the coastal areas of southern Italy. Around 1700, the Bergamot was already commercially grown for the cold-pressed bergamot oil from the fresh peels. The essential oil is namely extracted from the outer layer of the peel of the ripe fruit.
