Bergamot

Bergamot IGP

• The fruit

Bergamot appeared accidentally as a hybrid in the citrus fields of southern Italy between the 14th and 15th centuries.

This citrus fruit is reproduced by grafting a lemon tree onto a wild orange tree. Its essence is collected after pressing the peel several times.

• The candy

By blending this natural essence with cooked sugar, we then manufacture Bergamote, in our store and workshop in Nancy, becoming this refined candy with a beautiful amber hue and an inimitable taste.

• Bergamot IGP

The “Bergamote de Nancy” appellation guarantees a link between a product and its territory of origin. The Protected Geographical Indication guarantees a collective, voluntary approach by producers, strict production conditions validated by the State, and quality, typical foods that are part of our culinary heritage.
