Description

Created since ancient times, the Aleppo Soap represents thousands years of culture and history. It is an authentic product, 100% natural. The softness of the olive and the strength delicately perfumed of laurel are united under the Orient sun to give birth to this « superfatted » soap, whose virtues are famous.
Ancestor of its cousin, the « Savon de Marseille » (Marseille soap), it was created by the Mesopotamians. Since Ancient Times, the Aleppo citadel located at the North West of current Syria became prosperous thanks to the caravan trade of spices and silk between the East and the West and continues to perpetuate this tradition.
The ancestral method of production originating from this city goes back more than two thousand years, and the recipe has not changed since: each year, in November, when olive oils are just extracted, the same ritual repeats itself: 2nd press olive oil is cooked, with water and soda, very slowly, for several days in a cauldron. At the end of cooking, when the paste is ready, laurel oil is added so as to enrich and perfume it. At the end of the cooking, the paste is spread and cut manually. The pieces of soap of green colour are piled up as a tower. So as to harden the soap, it is air-dried for 9-10 months.It is during this time that the dark green color turns light beige, but under the surface the color is unchanged.
