Nabulsi soap is a type of castile soap produced only in Nablus in the
West Bank, Palestine. Its chief ingredients are virgin olive oil, water,
and an alkaline sodium compound. The finished product is ivory-colored
and has almost no scent. The compound is made by mixing the powdered
ashes of the barilla plant (qilw) which grows along the banks of the
River Jordan with locally supplied lime (sheed). The sodium compound is
then is heated with water and the olive oil in large copper vats over
fermentation pits. The solution of water and the sodium compound becomes
increasingly concentrated in a series of 40 cycles repeated over eight
days. During that time, an oar-shaped wooden tool known as a dukshab is
used to stir the liquid soap continuously. The liquid soap is then
spread in wooden frames to set. After setting, it is cut into the
classic cube shape of Nabulsi soap and stamped with the companys
trademark seal. The soap cubes then undergo a drying process which can
last from three months to a year and involves stacking them in
ceiling-high structures resembling cones with hollow centers which allow
the air to circulate around the cubes.
