Palestinian Soap Cooperative

Marseille Olive Soap - 300g

$ 13

Marseille soap descends from the ancient soap-making techniques of Palestine and the broader Arab world, after Nablus soap was taxed during the Crusades and the taxes were used to create a European soap industry based on the cauldron-cooked and olive-oil-based process. Because of a government edict in 1688, soap makers in Marseille have been obligated to continue using the same open-cauldren hot-cooked process discovered in the Arab world.
