A portfolio of three natural oligomineral water sources with differentiated physico-chemical characteristics and potential for complementary product positioning. The portfolio comprises three anonymized water catchment units — A, B and C — all legally classified as oligomineral natural waters, with fixed residue at 180°C ranging from approximately 212 to 292 mg/L.
All three sources demonstrate a slightly alkaline pH of 7.46–7.74 and a low-sodium profile below 20 mg/L, supporting positioning across everyday hydration, wellness and low-sodium consumption segments.

DIFFERENTIATED WATER PROFILES
SOURCE A — ULTRA-LIGHT & LOW-SODIUM
Source A represents the lowest-mineralization profile within the portfolio, with fixed residue ranging from 212–279 mg/L and exceptionally low sodium of only 3.2–3.6 mg/L.
- Calcium: 75.0–82.4 mg/L
- Magnesium: 7.8–10.2 mg/L
- Bicarbonates: 213–232 mg/L
- Nitrates: approximately 2.2 mg/L
- pH: 7.60–7.74
Potential positioning: Premium ultra-light, low-sodium and wellness-oriented water.
Taste profile: Fresh, light and neutral.
SOURCE B — BALANCED & MAGNESIUM-RICH
Source B offers a more mineral-balanced profile, with fixed residue of 282–292 mg/L, together with comparatively higher levels of magnesium and bicarbonates.
- Magnesium: 21.0 mg/L
- Bicarbonates: 244 mg/L
- Calcium: 58.1 mg/L
- Sodium: 14.2–15.3 mg/L
- Nitrates: 2.2–2.5 mg/L
- pH: 7.46–7.66
- Free CO₂: 43.8 mg/L
Potential positioning: Functional and balanced mineral-water proposition.
Taste profile: Full-bodied, rounded and balanced.
SOURCE C — STANDARD LOW-SODIUM
Source C provides a balanced oligomineral profile with fixed residue of approximately 285 mg/L, pH of approximately 7.50 and sodium below 20 mg/L.
- Balanced calcium and magnesium profile
- Bicarbonates present
- Nitrates: approximately 1.0 mg/L
- Electrical conductivity: approximately 453 μS/cm
Potential positioning: Broad consumer market, everyday table water and hydration.
Taste profile: Harmonious and refreshing.
STRATEGIC VALUE PROPOSITION
THREE COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCT PROFILES
The portfolio provides the potential to develop a multi-product natural mineral water platform, with each source addressing a distinct consumer proposition.
A — Ultra-Light / Low-Sodium
Designed around very low mineralization and exceptionally low sodium content.
B — Balanced / Magnesium-Rich
Differentiated through its higher magnesium and bicarbonate profile.
C — Mainstream / Low-Sodium
A balanced profile suitable for broad, everyday consumption.
This complementary structure could enable an investor or strategic buyer to develop multiple brands, SKUs or market propositions from a diversified source portfolio.
