Peel and juice in Calabro’s process
Calabro describes a process using both fresh peel and juice from Calabrian bergamots. The fruit is harvested by hand in January, washed, dried and peeled manually. Thin strips of peel macerate in stainless-steel tanks with alcohol and freshly squeezed bergamot juice.
After several weeks, the peel is removed and pressed, and the aromatic liquid is filtered and stored. For the final blend, Calabro combines that liquid with alcohol, water and sugar syrup, then filters and checks it before bottling.
