5 Mineral waters
Some companies add minerals to water while others prefer to leave them not tampered with. This can be because the water is very soft to begin with and contains little or no minerals, or may have be desalinated as is often the case in this region, or it may be to improve the natural mineral balance in the waters. Dudley says: “It is possible that companies put in minerals that the water may be lacking.”
However not all firms wish to follow this trend. Marchand says there are no plans to add anything to Evian water. “Pure and perfectly balanced in minerals, Evian is naturally filtered through a 15 year journey over layers of glacial sands and it’s because of the water’s purity that Evian is only available in its 100% natural form.”
