The EIRA source is in Eresfjord, one of Norway’s vast Fjords. The water goes through many layers of quartz, which acts as a natural filter and does not pass any kind of soil or organic material. Therefore, reaching its source cold, pristine and pure. Low in minerals, the water is unfiltered and bottled straight from the source, making it one of the top drinking waters in the world.
