A base ingredient for many fragrances and colognes, Sicilian Bergamot is a fresh, fizzy, and citrus-y scent. Closely related to the lemon, Bergamot contains some 350 polyphenols with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective properties. Besides drinking a mix of bergamot and orange juice, you can grate the peel and use a touch of aroma to amp up a risotto, fish dish, or even dessert. Its perfume is extracted from the essence of the peel, and its scent immediately recalls Sicilian tradition, sicula magic, sun, heat, and citrus.
