Recipe submitted for the "Saponi e buoi dei paesi tuoi" self-production competition. Why does it represent the proverb "Saponi e buoi dei paesi tuoi"? Because it contains honey produced in the valley at 1500 meters, juniper berries, and red fir needles collected in the woods behind the house, as well as essential oils of wild pine, juniper, and red fir to evoke the scents of the forest. The soap's green color also recalls the colors of the woods. Additionally, each soap mold was made using a piece of fir wood and two fresh twigs.
Preparation
Made using the hot process method with a 6% lye discount.
I used the hot process method to preserve all the flavors and the green color. Honey, juniper berries, fir needles, as well as the essential oils and colorant, were added at the end of the cooking process.
How to use
Use as a normal soap.
