Tradition of Nablusi soap making in Palestine

UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2024 URL: https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/02112 Description: Nabulsi soap is a hand-crafted soap made in Palestine using three natural, local ingredients: olive oil, water and lye. Families work together to make the soap after the olive harvest, adding their stamp before packaging it and storing it for one year. A source of income, the tradition is shared by most families. The use of olive oil reflects people’s strong relation to nature, and many people use their homemade soap as a gift for celebrations such as weddings and birthdays.
