Bergamot is the most delicate of the citrus plants and therefore requires proper soil and climate to thrive. Italians have used it for years to soften, purify, and invigorate the skin. In Greece, these green fruits are eaten by the spoonful (with coffee) or served as dessert. doTERRA Bergamot is unique among citrus essential oils because of its invigorating, yet relaxing power, which makes it ideal for helping with feelings of sadness and restlessness.

The vast majority of all bergamot grows in Reggio Calabria in southern Italy, a beautiful area known for its fruit. It is also where we source our Bergamot Essential Oil.
Bergamot is a member of the citrus family. It is the most delicate of the citrus plants and resembles a cross between a lime and a grapefruit. In Italy, bergamot fruit is not usually eaten because of its bitter flavour, although in Greece it is eaten as a dessert or with coffee. Traditionally, bergamot has been grown mainly for essential oil, but due to recent studies showing the benefits of drinking fresh bergamot juice, there has been increased demand.
The essential oil comes from “rasping” the peel (similar to a cheese grater that scratches the peel) using special equipment. This rasping equipment is submerged in water, just enough to cover the blades, and as it scratches the peel, the oil is released into the water. The fruit comes out looking something like a small, fuzzy ball with the peel completely removed. The oil is then separated from the water in a centrifuge, where it is processed at least twice.
One of doTERRA's core sourcing principles is sustaining long-term, multi-year partnerships with growers and distillers based on solidarity and respect. Here's how long-term partnerships are helping our partners in Italy:
