Gerolsteiner Mineral Water owes its special taste to the unique geological conditions of the spring’s location in the Volcanic Eifel. Carbonic acid of volcanic origin comes into contact with magnesium-rich dolomite bedrock, which is very specific to the Gerolstein region. As a result, a mineral water is created which is rich in minerals and tastes pleasantly neutral and refreshing in spite of its overall high mineral levels.
Gerolsteiner mineral water is obtained from depths of up to 250 m from with the earth’s bedrock and it takes 50 to 100 years for nature to produce our superior mineral water.
We’re the highest-selling exporter of mineral water in Germany; worldwide exports account for around 5% of Gerolsteiner’s total sales. Consumers in over 35 countries enjoy our mineral water, primarily in the USA, Japan and the Benelux countries.
