Olive oil soap, also commonly know as Castile soap, is thought to be one of the oldest types of soap in existence. While the city of Venice is the known origin of the first white soap factories, olive soap originated in the Castile region of Spain and may have first appeared on the Greek Island of Crete. This fantastic soap reached the shores of Southern France in Marseille some time after its appearance in Crete and as the excellent qualities of this soap were shared it became a soap that is continued to be used today.
