About Bergamot Fantastico

Fantastico is a bergamot chosen for the highly distinctive fragrance of its rind — the scent behind Earl Grey tea and much of perfumery. A small amount of zest adds a distinctive aroma to desserts, infusions and cooking; its main appeal is not that of a sweet eating orange.

Bergamot Fantastico or another variety?

For another citrus with aromatic zest, Combawa is given an indicative hardiness of -5 °C and Yuzu -12 °C, against -7 °C for Fantastico. To explore further, see our “Lemons and lemon substitutes” category.
