100% Canadian Glacier Spring Water
03.14.18
Canada’s only premium glacial water; locally Canadian-owned and sourced, Whistler Water is just coming to market in SoCal with Orange County being its first destination. You can find it at Gelson’s. Their water originates from glacier-capped mountaintops just north of Whistler in British Columbia, Canada and is bottled a short distance away in Burnaby, British Columbia.
It’s bottled in PET, recycle symbol 1 plastic, the world’s most viable plastic for recycling, and it’s a Bisphenol-A (BPA) free company, to confirm its commitment to supply the purest water product on the market. It’s naturally alkaline ph 7.2, TDS 36 P.P.M., low sodium, and Kosher certified. As far as taste goes, it was awarded Superior Taste in 2017 by the International Taste & Quality Institute upon blind judgment of 135 chefs and sommeliers.
Gelson's Market is in Dana Point, Irvine, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach.
