About La Corvette
La Corvette, which was established in Marseille in 1894, is one of the remaining ancient soap companies in the city still using the original recipe and production techniques. A founding member of the Union of Soap Professionals of Marseille is La Savonnerie du Midi. The Living Heritage Company Label has been awarded to this century-old soap manufacturer. The Ministry of Economy and Finance established this mark in 2005 to identify French businesses that uphold historic know-how of excellence. This factory, which is steeped in history, can be found in Marseille's 15th arrondissement in the Aygalades neighborhood, at the foot of the Carmes valley. La Corvette, which employs roughly twenty people, is a division of the Compagnie du Midi that the family firm PRODEF purchased in 2013.
