The Citrus Bergamot tree (Citrus bergamia) is a small, fragrant citrus tree native to the Mediterranean region, particularly Southern Italy. It produces yellow-green fruit, similar in size to an orange, known for its distinctive, aromatic oil. Bergamot oil, extracted from the fruit's peel, is widely used in perfumes, cosmetics, and the flavoring of Earl Grey tea. The tree thrives in subtropical climates, preferring well-drained soils and ample sunlight. Its fruit is prized not only for its scent but also for potential health benefits, particularly in supporting heart and cholesterol health.
