Spain has a long tradition of soap-making, especially olive oil-based soaps from Andalusia and Castile. Jabón de Castilla (Castile soap) originated in Spain and is known worldwide. The expression 'dar jabón a alguien' means to flatter someone excessively. Many Spanish homes keep a bar of natural soap by the kitchen sink alongside liquid soap in the bathroom.
