Description
Pictured is the world famous Savon de Marseille French soap on sale in the Cours Saleya Market in the old town of Nice, France. Less than five soap makers still craft Marseille Soap according to the centuries-old tradition. It takes our Maitre de Savon soapmaster two weeks to make Savon de Marseille. The delicate mixture of olive oil, alkaline ash from sea plants and Mediterranean Sea salted water are heated for ten days in antique cauldrons, then poured into open pits where it hardens.
