Welcome to a journey through an exciting company history! The Italian company L'Amande can proudly look back on a long tradition and still enjoys great popularity today, after more than 100 years. As early as the 19th century, L'Amande was one of the most important brands of the Marseille soap factory "Garcin & Rabattu". Due to its great popularity with customers and its growing importance, the L'Amande brand was registered with the Marseille Chamber of Commerce in 1884, making it one of the five oldest soap brands in the world.dambiro
The brand subsequently also gave its name to the company and became the "Huilerie & Savonnerie de L'Amande", establishing itself as one of the most important soap factories of the golden age of Marseille soapmaking that dawned at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. But how did the company eventually get from France to Italy? Around the beginning of the 20th century, the company had founded the "Fabbrica Italiana della Savonnerie Amande di Marsiglia" in Vallecrosia in the Italian province of Imperia specifically for the production and distribution of its soaps in Italy and the colonies. During the most important expansion phase of the 1950s, L'Amande was completely relocated to Italy to the site in Savona that had been established in the meantime. In the meantime, the Huilerie & Savonnerie de L'Amande in Marseille ceased operations due to heavy losses from the bombing raids during the Second World War. All recipes and machines thus became the property of L'Amande S.r.l. in Savona and the brand thus became quasi Italian.
Today, L'Amande has stood for quality and for the great tradition of Mediterranean soap making for more than 100 years. To this day, the soaps are made in cauldrons according to the old Marseille method, in which the oils and raw materials are boiled for a whole six days and nights. In addition to the solid soaps, the range today includes a variety of other products, but they are all characterised by the same high quality that has always distinguished the brand. Only high-quality ingredients that the Italian Mediterranean region has to offer are used for the products and the brand is characterised by the country's typical scents and ingredients. The products thus embody an attitude to life that is characterised by the warm sea breeze, which sometimes blends with floral, sometimes with fruity notes from a nature that is generous in every season.
The products from L'Amande thus bring a piece of Italy into every home and pamper body and soul with quality, but certainly also with a touch of dolce vita!dambiro
