Awesome. I'm going to soon be making Aleppo with 70% Olive, 30% laurel. Did you have to let these cure very long?
They cured quite fast within 24 hours. Amazing! Hope the olive oil I used was not a fake one. Hehe
Thank u everyone for the comments
Curing soap takes a minimum of 4 weeks. Soaps high in olive oil take much longer, usually a minimum of six months to a year.
There is a significant difference between when the soup is ready to cut and come out of the mold versus when it is cured. Curing has more to do with water loss and a change in the molecular structure of the soap itself. Whereas being ready to unmold is more when saponification is finished.
