Completely protected from external influences, water from the Aquina spring makes its way underground through the Swiss Alps. Its purity and flavour gives both our Aquina mineral water and our high-quality soft drinks their special character.
The source of our Aquina mineral water lies at the foot of the Aletsch glacier, the longest in the Central Alps. The Aquina water flows along kilometres of mountain channels through underground natural filtration systems, where it is protected from all external influences.
As a result, nature provides us with a water that is free of any pollutants and enriched with important minerals and trace elements.
After collecting the water, we remove the iron content – which would otherwise affect the water in terms of both appearance and taste – through a natural process involving ventilation and gravel sand.
The extremely low nitrate content shows just how pure and pollutant-free Swiss Alpina mineral water really is.
The mineral water is bottled at the site of the spring, which is surrounded by official spring water protection zones, under strict conditions according to Swiss legislation. Regular internal checks and inspections by the regional authorities guarantee the best quality.
Aquina is available as sparkling or still mineral water. In both varieties, the flavour of Aquina mineral waters is characterized by the natural mineral compounds.
We only use the purest spring water from the Valais Alps for our Quini soft drinks, too. Quini soft drinks are all made using a top-quality recipe and, containing up to 5% fruit juice, have the highest fruit juice content in their price segment.
Quini soft drinks are available from our partner Transgourmet and Coop Pronto stores in 0.5 and 1.5-litre PET bottles in Citron, Orange, Grapefruit and Cola flavours.
