Aleppo soap, also known as “Ghar” soap, is a centuries-old tradition originating in the Aleppo region of Syria. The creation of this timeless soap involves a meticulous, centuries-old process:
Saponification: Water and sodium hydroxide are heated in large cauldrons, and olive oil is added, stirring continuously for hours.
Incorporation of Laurel Oil: Laurel berry oil is added to the mixture, enriching the soap with its antiseptic and nourishing qualities.
Curing Process: After being poured into basins, the soap is allowed to cool and harden for 1-2 days before being hand-cut into blocks and stamped with the Beroea seal.
Curing: The soap is then transferred to well-ventilated cellars, where it undergoes a curing phase that lasts a minimum of 9 months. This hardens the soap, reduces moisture, and gives it its signature golden exterior with a green interior.
Once fully cured, the soap is wrapped and packaged carefully, ensuring the preservation of its natural goodness and purity.
