About Evian Mineral Water and Spray
Evian mineral water is renowned for its source from the Alps in France. The production of Evian begins in Evian-les-Bains, a small town located on the shores of Lake Geneva. The water originates from an underground spring, formed by rainwater that has filtered through the Alps for hundreds of years. This natural filtration process through limestone and other rocks ensures its purity. Evian water contains a variety of beneficial minerals for the body, such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium, in balanced amounts. It has a pH level of around 7.2, indicating its neutrality.
In terms of packaging, Evian water is bottled in recyclable plastic bottles with sizes ranging from 330 ml to 1.5 liters. Evian water is certified by various health and water quality organizations and is popular in many countries due to its high quality and premium source.
