Fruit
Bergamot fruit is the full market piece with peel and interior as harvested—graded and sold by piece or weight. Judge ripeness by aroma, colour and give. Hold whole until prep, then peel or slice as the dish requires. Even thickness matters more than elaborate marinades for consistent doneness.
