	Castile Soap: Pure Olive Oil Soap Bar made with Organic Virgin Olive Oil
		Castile soap is a name used in English-speaking countries for soap made exclusively from vegetable oil, as opposed to animal fat.
		According to some authorities, Castile soap originated in the Kingdom of Castile, where it was made from olive oil only; importations of "Castile soap" through Antwerp appear in the London port books of 1567ÃÂ¢Ã¢âÂ¬Ã¢â¬Å“68 (Dietz 1972), though the OED could find no earlier reference to "Castile soap" than 1616.
		It is therefore possible that the term Castile, when applied to soap, might either refer to modern soap factories in Spain, or to the geographical location of the ports where white (castile) soap was collected before crossing the Atlantic on its way to the Americas.
