Why Choose Them
Excellence in every sip
Vichy Catalan
Vichy Catalan is a distinctive mineral water from Catalonia with a high content of bicarbonates and sodium. Thanks to its rich mineral profile it has a full taste, natural sparkling freshness, and is a perfect companion for food, wine and long evenings at the table. It's not a neutral water — it's water with character.
Significant minerality
Vichy Catalan has a rich mineral profile that gives it a full flavor and recognizable character. It is suitable where the water should not be inconspicuous, but should complement the overall gastronomic experience.
High bicarbonate content
Bicarbonates are one of the main elements of its mineral composition. They contribute to the full mineral character of the water and make it a natural choice for meals, wine and extended evening service.
With food, wine and after dinner
Quality food, wine, and a long evening ask for water that has character. With its minerality and sparkling freshness, Vichy Catalan naturally complements the gastronomic experience – both during and after service.
Iconic bottle
The Vichy Catalan glass bottle with a typical design looks premium on the table and immediately distinguishes the service from the usual beverage offer.
Thermal origin
Water rises in Caldes de Malavella at 60 °C — thermal springs in this region have been used since Roman times. Deep filtration through volcanic rocks gives Vichy Catalan its exceptional minerality.
Font d'Or
Font d'Or is a fine still water from Catalonia with low mineralization and a neutral taste profile. It does not overload food, wine or coffee, so it is a natural choice for everyday serving in restaurants, hotels, offices and premium establishments.
Delicate taste
Font d'Or has a light and neutral taste profile. It is ideal where water is supposed to complement the service without overlapping the taste of food, wine or coffee.
Low mineralization
Thanks to its low mineralization, Font d'Or looks easy, clean and natural. It is also suitable for daily use by guests who prefer soft still water.
Universal Option
Font d'Or is suitable for restaurants, hotels, offices, wellness facilities and corporate meetings. It is a constant counterpart to the distinctive Vichy Catalan.
Glass instead of plastic
The elegant glass bottle promotes a premium impression and makes every water service a higher-quality detail.
FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
With very low mineralization (TDS 105 mg/L) and low sodium content (7.8 mg/L), Font d'Or is the gentle choice for all-day drinking — from breakfast to coffee to the last glass before bedtime. Suitable for all family members, even the smallest ones.

Why glass
Glass protects what matters most.
Vichy Catalan and Font d'Or are bottled exclusively in glass. Glass is taste-neutral, doesn't absorb odours and doesn't alter the character of the water. For mineral water with its own origin, composition and flavour, the bottle matters as much as what's inside.
Pure taste
Glass does not change the taste or smell of water. The guest gets what the spring naturally offers.
No disturbing plastic impression
On the table, a glass bottle naturally feels premium — at meals, with wine, coffee or at business meetings.
Higher standard of service
Water in glass is not just a drink. It is part of the dining, atmosphere and overall impression of the operation.
Recyclable material
Glass can be recycled repeatedly without losing material quality – a natural choice for quality beverages.

For gastronomy
Water that completes the experience.
In a premium venue, water isn't just an accessory. It's part of the impression a guest experiences at the table. Vichy Catalan and Font d'Or bring sparkling and still options in glass — with the taste, origin and look the guest will notice.
Name and bottle that will not perish
Vichy Catalan brings history, distinctive taste and an iconic design. Font d'Or complements it as a delicate still choice in glass.
Glass on the table
The guest notices the difference between plastic and glass instantly. Glass looks cleaner, more refined and naturally belongs to premium service.
Sparkling and still choice
Vichy Catalan as a distinctive sparkling water and Font d'Or as a delicate still water cover the entire table service — alongside food, wine and coffee.
