While not used as much for flavor purposes, these juicy and somewhat sweet terpenes can add an immediate refreshing burst of citrus to almost any product. Not considered a "traditional" citrus oil, bergamot oil terpenes have a unique floral odor that separates them from other oils such as lemon, orange, and lime.
