CAS: 68648-33-9Variety: Citrus bergamia, RISSO et POITEAU Classification: Top Note[i]
CAPUA 1880's Calabrian bergamot oil FCF (furocoumarin* free) is produced using a highly specialised cold extraction process that removes restricted furocoumarins (including bergapten) without any damage to the oil. Because of the process used, this bergamot oil remains 100% natural. There is no doubt this is the highest quality FCF bergamot on the market and the closest to the classic pure and natural oil. It is so good it even retains some of its true colour!
Most furocoumarin free bergamot from other suppliers is modified with a chemical process involving caustic soda; as a result the oil is often damaged to a point that while it may still smell of bergamot, it lacks much of the beauty of pure bergamot oil. Furthermore, caustic treated oil may often not be considered natural.
You will not find a finer and more true to the classic Italian green bergamot oil than Fraterworks' bergaptene free Bergamot “Superior” Oil. Our oil can't be beaten, and neither can our price!
* Furocoumarins (or furanocoumarins) are a type of molecule that react with human DNA in the skin, causing changes which makes the skin extremely sensitive to sun damage. Some common furocoumarins are bergapten, bergamottin, psoralen, and xanthotoxin.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
