The Artisan Process of Soap Making
At home we always prepared natural soap. I had the good fortune to observe my grandmothers and then my mother make it year after year. My grandfather worked in a an olive oil factory. Following the pressing of the olives a low quality oil was left over in the residual paste. This combined together with domestic and animal oils was used to make the soap. We didn’t waste anything and in the majority of the towns which lay on the mediterranean sea, most olive oil producers did the same. Very little of this tradition remains. Many people remember their grandmothers making “lagarto” (named after a comercial brand which was similar in appearance) soap. When we close our eyes, many of us still remember that toasted brown coloured soap with its intense aroma that filled the whole house.
