Our Bergamot Fruit Oil is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure consistency, purity, and authenticity. We offer grades suitable for food, fragrance, and cosmetic applications, with quality assurance aligned with industry standards such as FCC, ISO, and AFNOR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each batch, detailing key parameters like organoleptic properties, specific gravity, refractive index, and chromatographic profile to verify composition and absence of adulterants.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F).
