Bergamot oils

Bergamot oils is an alternative term for bergamot essential oils, the aromatic peel oils of the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia). Used to flavour Earl Grey tea, sweets, beverages, and liqueurs, they deliver a distinctive citrus perfume that blenders prize for its brightness. Processors typically use rectified, bergapten-reduced grades to avoid the phototoxic risks of the crude oil, and food-grade supplies must meet flavouring purity specifications. Encountering the shorter term in recipes or flavour literature is a cue to treat it as identical to bergamot essential oil, with the same quality, safety, and labelling considerations applying.
