Sandbar

Sandbar

$10 USD Cold process Cured 4+ weeks Naples, FL

A horizon in a bar: water above, sand below.

Contains animal fat This bar contains lard, which is rendered pork fat. We say so in case you avoid pork for religious or personal reasons.

Blue and white poured together so the water marbles as it falls, over a band of sand given its grain with ground 100% Colombian coffee. A firm bar, scented with true lavender essential oil rather than a fragrance oil. No two are alike.

Every bar cures for four weeks, so batches are small and counted.

The make-up

Notes on the bar

Keep it on a draining dish. A cold-process bar left sitting in water softens and will not last the way it should.

Scent

Lavender, from the oil itself

True lavender essential oil, not a fragrance oil. Clean and herbal rather than sweet, and it runs through the whole bar.

Texture

Water over a band of sand

The blues and the white go into the mould at the same time, so the water marbles as it falls. The sand band gets its grain from ground coffee, and you can see the specks in it.

The base

Olive, cocoa butter and lard

Lard and cocoa butter make it firm. Contains lard.

Origin

Cured in Naples, Florida

Cold process, small batch, cured a minimum of four weeks before it leaves the workshop.

How this batch is made

Process

Cold process. The batter is split and coloured, then poured into the mould all at once so the colours marble as they fall. A portion is set aside for the sand and given its grain with ground coffee. Nothing is stirred into place, which is why no two bars come out the same.
