You can now buy bergamot sour oranges from Pearson Ranch, grown right here in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley! You might know Bergamot Sour Oranges as a yellowish green fruit used for sauces, perfumes, marmalades, and even exotic recipes. However, they are probably better known for their production of bergamot oil, a component of many types of tea, particularly Earl Grey tea. Bergamots are thought to be a hybrid of sour orange and citron or lemon, and if you ever tried one "as is" you would probably agree that they are! Historically speaking, the word bergamot is believed to come from the Turkish term "beg-armade," meaning "Lord's pear". They are primarily grown in southern Italy, in which the majority of the world's supply of bergamot sour oranges now comes. However, if you are looking to buy them, you don’t have to travel to Italy (although it does sound like it would be fun) in order to get some for your very own.
When are Bergamot Sour Oranges available? Bergamots have a rather short harvesting season. Due to their limited quantities and short season, annual market pricing will also vary from season to season. Please call Pearson Ranch at 1-888-667-2643 to check on availability!
How many pounds of Bergamots do I get in a box? Pearson Ranch sells it's Bergamots in 5 pound Quantities. Order yours today and Shipping included in the price!

I made Bergamot marmalade this past week, and boy is it tasty. It still has a bit of a sour edge, just what you want in a marmalade, and 5#s makes plenty of jars. I appreciate having a back up to my Seville Orange marmalade in my cupboard. Thanks for the good advice from Pearson Ranch.
My wife is a devoted Earl Gray tea drinker and loves the bergamot flavor. She also loves limoncello, which we have made in the past as Christmas gifts. So, we decided to try to make bergamotcello this year, and so I bought bergamots from you while they were available. The production is ongoing and if the aroma is any indication, this will be a most successful variation on limoncello. If our experiment succeeds we will probably be bergamot buyer during late winter.

Great
Audrey, thank you so much for all your help and especially for the tips how to take care of my dwarf bergamot tree. I appreciate it very much!
Practically the only source I have found, that is available to us here in the midwest, for specialty citruses, especially etrog citrons, yuzus and bergamots. Quality is consistently excellent. Shipping is thoughtfully timed to consider our local weather conditions and prevent spoilage in transit. An essential resource for anyone who loves citrus beyond the standard varieties.
