“THE GREEN GOLD OF CALABRIA”
……….. It is a warm May afternoon; the sun is shining in a clear sky and everything smells like spring. I open the window and the intense scent of orange blossom invades me. The dark green leaves of the orange and bergamot trees shine in the sunlight of my south; those trees have a story to tell, the story of ordinary people who work and marry their beloved land every day……..
(from A Gift from God – Bergamot: the scent of paradise)<\/p>\n

They would load the baskets on their heads by resting them on top of a kind of pad called a “giranda.” The weight forced them to walk with an upright, almost austere gait along the lanes, between the trees.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/RACCOLTA-BERGAMOTTO-5.jpg” title_text=”RACCOLTA BERGAMOTTO 5″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Body Text \/ Paragraph” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Thus, colorful Indian lines of women were created, whose wide, brightly colored skirts swayed as their carving was accompanied by the chorus singing of “motets.”[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/RACCOLTA-BERGAMOTTO-6.jpg” title_text=”RACCOLTA BERGAMOTTO 6″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Body Text \/ Paragraph” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]These folk songs with noble origins were sung a cappella and told of rural life, hard work and the joy of being together.<\/p>\n

It was the time when the harvesting and extraction of the essence was done by hand, using natural sponges to make the bergamot nectar spurt from the peel, which was collected in earthenware containers. Men and women, children and the elderly, bent over the sponges in the middle of the night to prevent the light from altering the essence; this is how it was done for generations, until the invention of the so-called “Calabrian machine,” devised by Nicola Barill\u00e0, which ensured high yields and a very fine quality of the essence.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||2em||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/12-ESTRAZIONE-A-MANO-BERGAMOTTO.jpg” title_text=”12 – ESTRAZIONE A MANO BERGAMOTTO” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||2em||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/14-RACCOLTA-OGGI.jpg” title_text=”14 – RACCOLTA OGGI” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/15-PIANTE-BERGAMOTTO.jpg” title_text=”15 – PIANTE BERGAMOTTO” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/11-MACCHINA-CALABRESE-BERGAMOTTO.jpg” title_text=”11 – MACCHINA CALABRESE BERGAMOTTO” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/16-FRUTTO-CON-FOGLIE.jpg” title_text=”16 – FRUTTO CON FOGLIE” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||2em||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Body Text \/ Paragraph” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Bergamot grows only along the coast in the province of Reggio Calabria, where it has found the ideal microclimate. Infatti, il suo habitat quasi esclusivo \u00e8 costituito dalla sottile striscia costiera lunga un centinaio di chilometri, compresa tra Villa S. Giovanni e Gioiosa Jonica. More than 90 percent of the world’s production of this citrus fruit, it should be remembered, has come from the province of Reggio Calabria since 1750 when the first bergamot was born.<\/p>\n

Questa terra produce bergamotti senza uguali grazie alle condizioni estreme del tempo, che garantiscono una ricchezza di pregiato olio essenziale. In fact, it is the essential oil stored in the pores, just below the surface of the peel, that makes bergamot so valuable initially used only as a fixing agent in the perfume industry.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||2em||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/9-DONNA-COLORE-FIUME.jpg” title_text=”9 – DONNA COLORE FIUME” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/10-DONNA-COLORE.jpg” title_text=”10 – DONNA COLORE” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||2em||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/8-GRUPPO-BALLO.jpg” title_text=”8 – GRUPPO BALLO” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||2em||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]Later, in the 1800s, scientists and physicians also discovered, almost by accident, the powerful antiseptic and antibacterial qualities of bergamot essential oil, a discovery that also made it take on a key role in clinics and hospitals as an effective disinfectant, anticholesterol, hypoglycemic, anti-free radical, and vitaminizing agent.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#2f9a64″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”2em||||false|false” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_color=”#f7c621″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”width: 25%!important;” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/augustea-iberica-logo.png” title_text=”augustea iberica logo” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”width: 70%!important;||margin-left: 5%;” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”32px” custom_margin=”||0.8em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Il bergamotto cresce soltanto lungo la costa in provincia di Reggio Calabria, dove ha trovato il microclima ideale. Infatti, il suo habitat quasi esclusivo \u00e8 costituito dalla sottile striscia costiera lunga un centinaio di chilometri, compresa tra Villa S. Giovanni e Gioiosa Jonica. Oltre il 90% della produzione mondiale di questo agrume, \u00e8 bene ricordarlo, proviene dalla provincia di Reggio Calabria sin dal 1750 quando nacque il primo bergamotteto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Questa terra produce bergamotti senza uguali grazie alle condizioni estreme del tempo, che garantiscono una ricchezza di pregiato olio essenziale. Infatti \u00e8 l\u2019olio essenziale<\/strong> immagazzinato nei pori, appena al di sotto della superficie della scorza, che rende il bergamotto cos\u00ec prezioso usato inizialmente solo come agente di fissaggio<\/strong> nel settore dei profumi.<\/p>\n
