Howdy!

I have never come across tallow in Israel, and I've been here for 30 years (originally from Miami, FL). Also, I think people here like the idea of plant-based oils for soap better. I think that since lard is not part of the diet/culture, people have a hard time imagining animal fat in soap.

Yes, and even most people in the US are shocked to find out that their favorite brand-name soaps are made from tallow, including Ivory, Irish Spring, and Dove.
