I always test mine periodically and am amazed how they change, I remember once I was going to toss a batch and just could not do it they turned out wonderful after a good long cure. I have one salt bar left from a batch that is over 5 yrs old and I really cherish that barThanks for sharing your thoughts about curing salt bars, Carolyn. I'm no expert on them -- this is only my 2nd batch and the first was a few years ago -- so I appreciate the advice. In all the threads I've read about this type of recipe, you salt bar makers are real clear that an extra-long cure is important, so I'm not frustrated about it, just curious how it changes over time. I probably will set the soap aside and forget about it -- but I have a firm date with this soap in about 6 months to see if it's changing its tune.
