Route and time of production of Marseille soap
Do you know how many people shape with passion our cubes of Marseille soap ? How our cubes are made at the Savonnerie du Midi ? How long does it last? We explain you all about this ancestral craft knowledge !
Step 1:
The first stage of manufacturing our soaps is managed by two people who are responsible for the correct reception of the raw materials.
Step 2:
The second stage, coordinated by a master soapmaker and a chemist, is the cooking of the soaps in a cauldron, which lasts between 7 and 10 days. This is the transformation of the vegetable oils into soap!
Step 3:
An apprentice of the master soap maker then takes care of the "drying" part of our cubes, which takes about 8 hours
Step 4:
After drying, it is time for shaping. At this stage of production, two to three workers are needed per shaping line.
Step 5:
For the warehouse and shipping part, 3 forklift operators work at the Savonnerie du Midi to manage our stocks of cubes and to check the condition of the goods loaded.
