Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Hi Chris & All, I guess the subject says it all ;-) I know the difference between the extra virgin & pomace olive oils, but would like to know more about how they are different in soapmaking. Is the fast trace the only noticeable difference, or does the soap come out differently somehow too ?? Inquisitive newbie soapmaker here !! Blessings, Jane :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2001 Report Share Posted October 23, 2001 Hi Jane Aside from the fast trace, the Olive Pomace makes a pretty green soap (where as the supermarket Virgin Olive makes a more golden, or even whitish color soap). I also find that the Olive Pomace (at least the water extracted one I use) makes a very " smooth " soap that I don't get quite the same from the Virgin Olive Oil (I am having some trouble describing in words what I am trying to here). It might have something to do with the different acidity levels of the different Olive Oils (Extra Virgin being the lowest in acidity ... up to Pomace being the highest). *Smile* Chris (list mom) New Gift Goodies Are Beginning To Appear For the Holidays! http://www.alittleolfactory.com Jane Eliza wrote: >Hi Chris & All, > >I guess the subject says it all ;-) >I know the difference between the extra virgin & pomace olive oils, but would >like to know more about how they are different in soapmaking.
