How is Aleppo Soap
made?
Olive oil is mixed in large cauldrons with
an aqueous solution of an alkali - soda ash. Originally the
soda ash was obtained from a desert plant, the salsola kali.
But recently this has been replaced by industrially produced
soda ash.
The mixture is heated to more than 200 degrees Celsius and
stirred until the oil fully decomposes yielding glycerin and
the sodium salt of olive oil. This process is called ‘saponification’.
Towards the end of the initial process, bayberry oil is
added to the mixture and further saponification takes place.
The caustic soda solution is drained from the cauldron and
the soap mixture is washed with fresh water until tested
free of any alkalinity. It is drained again and left
overnight to slightly cool and to further drain excess
water.

The
First Hard Soap in the World...
Aleppo Soap is an authentic product, with its origins dating
back thousands years. The production of the soap was known at the
time of the Phoenicians (3rd Millennium – 13th
century B.C.), who probably developed it in North-West Syria. But at
this time it was just a simple soapy emulsion in a semi-liquid
state.
Knowledge about soap dates back an extremely long time,
as it
was mentioned in two books of the Bible (Jeremiah
and Malachi) and by
authors such as Theocrities (sapônion),
Paulus Aegineta (sapôn)
and even Pliny the Elder, who described soap (sapo)
in his "Natural history".
It was in Aleppo that two major innovations led to soap as we
know it today to be made: Causticizing and the use of Olive Oil.
This is how the first hard soaps were made in the 8th
century in Aleppo - where outfits for making soap have since been
created and become organised.
Following the Crusades, production of this soap was extended to
the whole Mediterranean area. The first European soap-making outfits
were created in the 12th century in Spain (Alicante,
Malaga, Carthagene) and in Italy (Naples, Savone, Genoa, Bologna,
Venice) and then, in the middle of the 15th century, in
Marseille, for which the Soap - Savon de Marseille - is a replica of
Aleppo Soap. To put it broadly, Aleppo Soap is at the origin of all
hard soaps throughout the whole world.
