Using the largest fresh water spring in Montana, Giant Springs provides bottled water products of exceptional purity and taste. Giant Springs is located in Giant Springs Heritage State Park, near Great Falls, Montana, and was first discovered and named by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805. In his journal, Lewis wrote: "I think this fountain the largest I ever beheld.....the water of this fountain is extremely transparent and cold.....is very pure and pleasant."
Giant Springs and "It's Pure Montana" originate from a very pure limestone aquifer. at a depth of 700 to 800 feet. Carbon-14 dating has shown that the water has been confined in its aquifer for more than 2900 years and thus has been protected from man-made pollution. Indian legends reveal that Giant Springs water was considered to be directly connected to a Blackfeet Indian Sun god.

Matching Bottled Water With Food
The FineWaters Balance categorizes the "mouthfeel" of water based on the level of carbonization in five steps from Still to Effervescent, Light, Classic and Bold. This categorization is the basis of matching water with food in a fine dinig experience.
Temperature
There is nothing wrong with drinking water at almost any temperature but you should start paying attention and a little experimentation will revel a lot of epicurean delight in the consumption of water.
