Azienda Agricola Patea Marmellata di Bergamotto

Azienda Agricola Patea is a specialist producer based in the heart of Calabria, Italy, specifically in Brancaleone. The brand is synonymous with the Reggio Calabria Bergamot, a unique citrus fruit that thrives almost exclusively along this specific stretch of the Ionian coast.

Founded in 2007 by Carmela Patea and her husband Fabio Trunfio, the company has its roots in three generations of agricultural tradition. They manage the entire supply chain—from the cultivation of 15 hectares of their own bergamot groves to the processing and bottling of final products like marmalades, essential oils, and juices. The marmalade seen here is produced traditionally, often using organic bergamots and reflecting the family's deep-seated passion for this local 'green gold'. Today, Patea is a significant regional player, collaborating with hundreds of local producers to promote the distinctive qualities of Calabrian bergamot worldwide.
