The water naturally springs from the artesian deep well known as Balbín Spring, part of a pristine underground lake formed roughly 20 million years ago. Once resembling a canyon, this confined aquifer is now described by local hydrologists as a ‘sand-filled aquarium,’ continuously replenished by the surrounding forests and hillsides. Protected by tens of metres of clay sediments, it remains maximally safeguarded from contamination. Rising under natural pressure, the water gains its distinct mineral profile as it travels through layers of rock.
The Balbín spring naturally releases highly mineralized water, and to optimise its suitability for daily consumption, we aerate it with oxygen. This natural process called ozonation effectively reduces excessive metals and compounds while preserving the essential minerals that contribute to its unique character.
As one of the region’s rare artesian springs, Balbin water has been monitored for decades and consistently proves its superior quality—free from pesticides, nitrates, or other contaminants.
