The history of Aleppo Soap.
The history of soap-making in Aleppo.is nothing if not vague and just when the industry achieved major proportions in Aleppo is not exactly known; certainly several hundred years ago there was an established industry based in the many small workshops concentrated in the Bab Qinnisrin area of Aleppo that formed the basis of what is today one of the city's most important products.
Today there are 26 producers large enough to be listed by the Syrian-European Business Centre (SEBC) and many smaller and purely domestic ones besides.
How is Aleppo Gold Soap made?
In a skilled process, olive oil is converted to soap (saponified) and then bay leaf extract is added and the product is spread out to solidify before being cut by hand into rectangular bars and individually stamped. The bars are then dried in huge aerated stacks for several months after production and the outer surface of the olive green soap goes a gentle brown through oxidation.
