What an exceptional Spring and Summer we are having !  It was our first spring in Devon and we have watched with wonder the large bunches of daffodils springing out of the ground in great numbers, blue and white wild anemones and pink spring cyclamens bordering the paths with their bright and vivid colors.

For a few weeks, the wild garlic covered the woodlands with their long lush green leaves and their heads of starlike white flowers, filling the air with the unmistakable smell of the spice.  It has been so delicious to see and delicious to eat !  It is now June and the...Read More

Bergamot

The oil is produced from the rind of the bitter orange tree by cold expression.  It is nearly exclusively cultivated in southern Italy in the Calabria region.  The fruits are harvested from November to January.

Chemically:
It contains close to 50% linalyl acetate along with bergamotine, bergaptene, limonene and linalol.  The bergaptene & bergamotine content (furocomarin) means that the oil is phototoxic and will cause burns to the skin if exposed to sunlight.  It is important not to apply bergamot oil prior to going into the sun or use a bergapten free bergamot oil.

The aroma:
Bergamot has a lovely fresh, citrus like, slightly bitter aroma and blends well with many others oils: Flowers, fruits, woods, spices

Therapeutically:
Bergamot has strong antiseptic properties.  It is also carminative, analgesic.  It has a strong effect on the mind, being uplifting and anit-depressant
