A mild creamy white bar soap made using a traditional soap boiling process from pure olive oil. Castile soap has been in use since the Medieval period and was traded by pedlars through most parts of Europe. No fragrance, no preservatives, no animal fats, no fuss. Castile soap produces small bubbles and is a favourite with those who find palm oil based soaps too drying but still require a bar that cleans thoroughly.

Castile soap ages well, becoming harder with time, but it does need draining well after use and protecting from extreme atmospheric humidity in storage (it has a lot of natural glycerine and tends to slurp up the damp, just wrap it in a cloth or paper for troublefree storage if you are going to keep it for a while before use) .

Our Roughcut slabs are our most historically accurate for living history use or the most economical way to buy Castile for rebatching into washballs or for use as laundry soap.

Sent cellophane wrapped to keep the soap soft for grating. A good choice for bulk educational use. We cut generously to a minimum weight of 225g
