Fantastico

A tier

Fantastico is among the most planted modern Calabrian bergamot cultivars—balanced oil chemistry, reliable cropping, and central to contemporary bergamot essential oil supply. It is the practical orchard face of bergamot for many producers. Fruit morphology stays true to bergamot pear-yellow form. Culinary creatives using whole Fantastico fruit should focus on zest and infused sugars. Oil from Fantastico underpins much commercial bergamot flavour. A workhorse quality clone.
