Citrus aurantium bergamia, known as Bergamot, is originally native to Calabria in Southern Italy, thriving uniquely in this Mediterranean coastal region. The optimal climatic conditions of Calabria—mild winters, abundant sunshine, and fertile soils—produce high-quality bergamot fruits famous globally. Cultivation has expanded to similar climates worldwide, notably throughout the Mediterranean basin, Ivory Coast, and Brazil, though Calabrian bergamot remains unmatched for its premium aromatic properties.
