Palestinian Soap Cooperative

The Land (al-Ard; الأرض)

$ 8.25

The newest of the Nablus soap brands, al-Ard are true gems. Since they work in relatively small batches and are connected with many local small producers, their olive oil is often among the very best. The cooperatives equipment is all stainless steel and run electrically, compared with other brands which use gas or wood burning furnaces to cook their soap. Rather than hand stamping their bars, the Co-op uses a press machine that makes a deep and visible imprint. Al-Ards main market is in northern Palestine, in the areas around Nazareth and Jenin.
