Candles are a focal point for home décor, for aromatherapy relaxation and stress reduction, according to the National Candle Association. Fragrance is one of the most important characteristics of today's candles.
If any organization in the secular world can lay claim to the proverb “Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness” it is the Ajello Family, owners and
operators of Ajello Candles since 1775. Ajello Candles are created only by the Ajello family, artisans and master craftsmen for seven generations. Rich in inherent artistic ability and skill, each generation has given expression to this heritage. Today this family of artisans makes "the world's most beautiful candles."
Ancient Egyptians and Romans relied largely on tallow for
candle making. China was the first to use beeswax in candles as early as the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.). The Ajello Family uses beeswax and
soy wax in the making of their hand-poured candles. Natural herbs and aromatics impart a distinctive bouquet to each candle style. The Ajello's
artisan techniques are lead-free and rely on completely natural waxes, creating exquisite, slow-burning candles.
