"The Land" Nablus Olive Oil Soap | PALESTINIAN SOAP COOPERATIVE

by PALESTINIAN SOAP COOPERATIVE

'The Land' is made by the Women's Soap Co-operative of Beita, just south of Nablus. The newest of the Nablus soap brands, al-Ard are true gems. Since they work in relatively small batches and are connected with many local small producers, their olive oil is often among the very best. The cooperative's equipment is all stainless steel and run electrically, compared with other brands which use gas or wood burning furnaces to cook their soap. Rather than hand stamping their bars, the Co-op uses a press machine that makes a deep and visible imprint. Al-Ard's main market is in northern Palestine, in the areas around Nazareth and Jenin.

141.75 g (5 oz)

$3CAD/$2USD from each bar sold will be donated directly to fundraisers for Gazan families listed in Funds for Gaza and Operation Olive Branch. 

About the Palestinian Soap Cooperative: We're a distributor of traditional Palestinian olive oil soap from Nablus, a city that has continuously produced pure olive oil soap for the past thousand years. We ship North American orders from San Francisco and European Union orders from Munich. Nablus soap is the only 100% olive oil soap still produced in the traditional way. Made from three ingredients --- virgin olive oil, water, and lye --- it is cooked slowly on low heat, before being hand cut, stacked, and dried for up to 8 months.
