Castelbel Porto – Tradition and Craftsmanship from Portugal

The production of natural soaps has a 300-year-old tradition in Portugal – Castelbel's own story began in 1999, when Aquiles Barros, a respected professor of chemistry and former employee of the soap manufacturer Ach Brito, decided to establish something new and unique.

Not far from the port city of Porto in northern Portugal lies the small village of Castêlo da Maia, which served as both the company headquarters and the namesake: Castelbel – beautiful castle.

Initially, Castelbel produced private label goods for a New York department store, and later for Galeries Lafayette in Paris. The Castelbel name remained hidden. The Castelbel Ambiente series (lavender, rose, verbena) was launched in 2006, and the success story began. A major contribution to this has been the wonderful home fragrances in magnificent glass diffusers, which are exported from Portugal to the whole world. A year later, the exclusive Portus Cale series followed, whose Portuguese product design has found as many fans here as it has in Dubai, South Africa, and Japan – and it delights museum guests in the restrooms of the Louvre in Paris.
