 Featured Water: Etrusca
Etrusca is a super low mineral content water from a pristine source with a very good nitrate level. The neutral and soft tasting water is an ideal combination for contemporary cuisine. The lightly carbonated version adds some mouthfeel to the water without distracting. The brand owner spent three years looking for the right source before discovering the spring and developing the brand with an upscale glass presentation.
Etrusca gushes from a spring which is surrounded and protected by an uncontaminated forest area located in Alta Val Bromida, at 3.600ft (1100m) above sea level in the territory of the Comune di Calizzano (Soverzene) in Italy.

Nitrate levels should be one of the first characteristics considered when looking for a new source of water and it is also a good indicator for consumers on how well protected the source is from the environment. Not surprisingly sources close to cities and agriculture have higher nitrate levels as sources remote or protected by natural habitat.

The question is usually one of the first things your waiter asks – would you like bottled water or tap? Water is water, right? Well, that depends.
What is Premium Bottled Water?
Although there has been an explosion of premium bottled water in the past few years, the bottling and sale of water with unique characteristics is nothing new. In America, the bottling of water for “curative purposes” dates back to 1767. Today, in order to be considered premium, bottled water needs a natural source, brand, and ritual.
