Hecham, saponification process engineer

At La Corvette, we are proud of our team, which is made up exclusively of people who are passionate about Marseille soap !

Today we introduce you to Hecham, the saponification process engineer responsible for production.
Hecham controls every step of the manufacturing process of our Marseille soap.
From the analysis of the oils, to the feeding of the cauldrons. The soap paste remains in our vintage cauldrons for about 7 days. It is monitored and must pass compliance tests before the liquidation and drying of the finished product.

The 5 steps of the "Marseilles process" :

1st step : impasting, or chemical saponification reaction.
2nd step: the release.
3rd step: cooking.
4th step: washing.
5th step: liquidation.

Made only of vegetable oils, water, soda and Camargue salt, our Marseille soap is manufactured in accordance with the charter of the Union des Professionnels du Savon de Marseille (UPSM).
