Castile Olive Oil Bar Soap

Description

Soapmakers in the Mediterranean have been making this kind of soap for a millennia. Crafted with high quality olive oil, this hard, yet gentle, soap has been the subject of religious and political controversy since its importation out of Spain in the 1600s when Spanish Catholic manufacturers supplanted the popular British soap variety and King Charles I started a public smear campaign against it.

So what is so special about this soap that it got 17th century Monarchy all aflutter?

It is a hard, long lasting, gentle soap made with high quality olive oil.
It takes an incredibly long time to cure, one year or more for best performance, the sodium salts crystallize slowly like the aging of fine cheese.
You will notice that the lather is different from some other soaps, you will not get as much of the big bubbly lather you find in my other soap.  It is more of a gentle, creamy lather.

Small plastic label to close cardboard box is land fill for end of life.
