How is Aleppo 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.

I've been a regular buyer of your aleppo gold soap for the last couple of years - I was converted to aleppo soap a couple of years ago and haven't looked back since, it's just so much better than any shower gel out there. My friends don't quite understand how I can get excited over something as 'banal' as soap, but I really can't help but tell the people I know about how your soap is much better than all the other brands out there (I also love the fact it uses minimal packaging - two thumbs up!) Anyway it was just to say keep up the great work, thanks to you I'll most certainly always be clean Mr S, Bristol
