Our Water
Sierra Cazorla Natural Mineral Water is born in the Natural Park of the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas, one of the largest protected areas in Europe and declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1983.
This unique origin ensures the highest level of purity, as it flows from a place far from human settlements and farmland that could pollute the groundwater. The result is a lightly mineralized water with a unique composition: virtually sodium-free, yet rich in calcium, magnesium and bicarbonates.
It is this perfect balance that makes Sierra Cazorla a truly special water — pure and unique, ideal for the whole family.
Not all waters are the same
Natural mineral waters are defined, among other things, by their consistent mineral content. Each one is distinguished by its composition — by the proportion of minerals it contains. The final composition of a natural mineral water depends on many factors: some related to the place of origin (such as the type of rock or its porosity), and others inherent to the water itself (such as pH or temperature).
It is the origin of the water that makes it different — that makes it unique. The most common components of natural mineral waters are the so-called ‘major elements’, which typically include calcium, magnesium, sodium, bicarbonates, sulfates and silica. Their concentration can range from just a few milligrams per liter in lightly mineralized waters to several grams per liter in more highly mineralized ones. By law, natural mineral water bottlers are required to state the chemical composition on the product label. This allows consumers to choose the natural mineral water that best suits their needs and preferences.
Dry Residue
It refers to the mineral residue of a water after undergoing a controlled evaporation process.
Between two waters, the one with the higher dry residue is the more mineralized.
It is important to look at the individual parameters of the analysis to determine which minerals make up the dry residue. Two waters may have the same dry residue, but that does not mean they are identical in mineral composition.
Sodium: 1.3 (The lower, the better)
Magnesium: 41 (The higher, the better)
Bicarbonates: 401 (The higher, the better)
Calcium: 76 (The higher, the better)
