Description of the product

NUTROMAR S.A produces  natural still mineral water called MERET®.

Waters are classified according to their chemical, physical and biological characteristics.According to FDA ,MERET® falls under the category of Mineral Waters. It is a natural product as it is bottled in the same place where it is extracted without being transformed or treated in any way.

We have different kinds of bottles and caps to suit our customers`needs.

The process

Mineral water emerges from under the ground, then flows over rocks before it  is collected, resulting in a higher content of various minerals. Unlike spring water, it can't be treated except to remove grit and dirt. Different brands of spring and mineral waters will have differing amounts of minerals depending on their source.Mineral water MERET® is extracted from the natural aquifer from a depth of 50 m from two wells of different extracting capacity, alternating according to production.

Once extracted, water is taken through specially made pipes, which have been manufactured following the regulations of the FDA (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-Food and Drug Administration), to the factory where it is stored in stainless steel tanks with maximun and minimun automatic control. In this way, the amount of water extracted does not exceed the one needed for production.

Then it is filtered and bottled in the bottle line.After that, it is codified and packed, located in pallets to be correctly loaded in containers.

All these processes are followed with connected automatic machines,using sensors to guarantee the continuity of the production. The equipments are daily cleaned with environmentally-friendly products.
