A friend told me about this soap years ago after he was in Nablus. Finally I tried it! There's nothing like it. Love the olive aroma. I had the confidence to order six bars, and I'm glad I did. It's obvious why this soap has been popular for a millienia!

*Special note: This batch of bars was wrapped too early at the factory, making their wrappers crinkly and discolored to varying degrees because of the soap drying while in the wrapper (see the photo for a sense of the variation in how the wrappers look). While the soap itself is fine, because they don't have a perfect look we have put them on sale.
Note as well that the photograph shows multiple bars, but the price is for one bar.
The Camel / al-Jamal, made in the Shaka'a family-owned workshop in Nablus, is the most iconic imprint of Nablus soap --- often people refer to 'al-Jamal soap' to mean Nablus soap in the same way that people talk of Jacuzzi for hot tubs or Xerox for copy machines. Its main market is in southern Palestine around Hebron. The imprint took its mascot from the camel trains used to carry in qilw soda ash and olive oil to Nablus from neighboring countrysides.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Olive oil soap gets better with age. Keep them in a dry place for an increasingly olive-tan colored, dense, sudsy, and less soap-smelling bar. They can be aged even faster in a sunny window.
