villagers harvest the olives and laurel berries,
which grow wild in the
forests of northern Syria and southeast Turkey They then press and boil them. This soft mixture is set in cave-like
storage areas to dry for 6 to 9 months until it hardens into a naturally
green soap that develops a golden outer skin as it ages .
