They tend to be a pretty bright orangish-yellow, with a tangello like top (though not always), but the smell gives them away every time, even when they look funny. It's musky and peppery and citrus-y all at the same time.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981628640737207011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252166.post-75996322533706388822012-02-13T13:17:48.534-06:002012-02-13T13:17:48.534-06:00I'll have to look next time I'm at the mar...I'll have to look next time I'm at the market.

Strangely, I feel like the flavours of the juice and the peel are massively different. Juice is milder, acidic and only has a slight muskiness to it, whereas the flavour of the peel (due to the high amounts of essential oils in it) has a really, really strong flavour to it, making it more difficult to balance well in foods. <br /><br />I think you might, strangely enough, have a relatively easy time finding them if you look; they're in season now, and grow pretty easily in central and southern America.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981628640737207011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252166.post-38299697404484421642012-02-13T12:19:53.517-06:002012-02-13T12:19:53.517-06:00So, I know I've probably asked this before... ...So, I know I've probably asked this before... But...<br /><br />So, Earl Grey tea has bergamot for the flavor. I don't like the way that tastes. Are the fresh bergamots different, flavor-wise? It just seems too, I dunno, bitter, I guess, for me.<br /><br />Also, Google doesn't recognize bergamot as a word.j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05488121165040555447noreply@blogger.com
