The name bergamot is derived from the city of Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy, where the oil was first sold. Bergamot has been cultivated in Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Greece since the 16th century. It has long been used in the perfume and food industries (e.g., Earl Grey tea). Although the extraction of essential oils began only recently, the fruit, its aroma, and its flavor have been used in traditional medicine for centuries.
