Bergamot glaze: a product that teases the palate

Bergamot is the typical citrus fruit of Calabria, rich in beneficial properties that, combined with the fact that it grows exclusively in the province of Reggio Calabria, make it a unique product in the world.

Let's take a closer look at this sensational citrus fruit.

It comes from the Citrus Bergamia, a beautiful evergreen tree, and is a plant with various uses: from medicine to cosmetics and cooking.

There are two legends about the origin of the plant: one tells of Christopher Columbus importing bergamot to Calabria from the Canary Islands, the other tells of Frederick II Moro who sold the plant for 14 scudi to the Valentino family of Reggio Calabria, who then grafted it onto an orange tree.

Legends aside, it is true that bergamot is a citrus fruit with formidable properties: natural antiseptic, antibacterial and antimalarial. Furthermore, in the kitchen it is the sworn enemy of cholesterol.

At Latteria del Sole, you can find a truly unique product: Bergamot Glaze, born from the almost imaginative union of two products of Italian excellence, namely Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI and bergamot from Reggio Calabria. Together, they create a stunning combination, guaranteed to amaze guests with highly unusual culinary creations.

Bergamot Glaze is perfect for enhancing the flavor of grilled meat and fish, especially during the summer. It can also be used as a garnish to enhance the flavors of your dishes.
