Because of bergamot oil’s high value, there have been many attempts to grow bergamot elsewhere, but Calabria’s microclimate always wins. High, rugged mountains protect the area from cold northerly winds; the warm winds from Africa, fertile alluvial soil, along with the balance of sunshine and rain create the perfect conditions to produce a bergamot oil so superior and valuable that Calabria is responsible for more than 90 percent of the world’s production.
