Our natural mineral water

Our natural mineral water  gets its unique, pure cool, crisp taste from its 15-year journey through the  Alps.  It starts as snow and rain and infiltrates through the ground of our Impluvium before slowly travelling through layers of glacial rocks where it becomes naturally filtered and enriched with electrolytes and minerals. Nature gives our water everything it needs - we don’t add things for taste or enhance with extras.

Where does evian come from?

French Alps

evian natural mineral water starts as rain and snow that falls onto a glacial plateau in the French Alps.

Glacial Plateau

An area created 50,000 years ago during the Ice Age when glaciers melted and created a unique geological landscape.

Filtration

The pure, mineral water naturally filters through layers of protected underground rock for over 15 years. When it emerges at the evian source it already contains a natural and characteristic mineral composition, which gives evian its unique, crisp taste.

 

Évian-les-Bains

The water emerges at the foot of the alps in the town of Évian-les-Bains, where the evian mineral was first discovered over 230 years ago. We have great respect for this region and the water it provides. For over 25 years, we’ve been in partnership with the local community to continue to protect this natural resource so our water can be enjoyed today, tomorrow and always.

What is natural mineral water?

 

While there are many different types of bottled water, natural mineral water comes from an underground formation called an aquifer from which water flows to the surface of the earth at a source. This is a protected natural source that is free from pollution. Naturally pure and with a stable composition, the water can then be collected. Natural mineral waters do not need any form of treatment.  evian natural mineral water is collected and bottled from our source (Cachat Spring) in the French Alps.
