       What does "Castile" mean?    

           In earlier centuries, an all-vegetable based soap was made in
the Castile region of Spain from local olive oil. By the turn of this
century, "Castile" had come to mean any vegetable oil-based soap, versus
animal (tallow) fat-based. "Pure-Castile" is now is also your guarantee
that what you are consuming is a real ecological simple soap, not a
complex blend of detergents with a higher impact on the Earth due to the
waste stream during manufacture and slower biodegradability:
unfortunately, many synthetic detergent blends are deceptively labeled as
"Liquid Soap."
